I was naturally a loner, content just to live with a woman, eat with her, sleep with her, walk down the street with her.

I hated the game-playing, the dirty play, the flirting, the amateur drunks, the bores. — Charles Bukowski

It's in the back of my mind that he's on the track with me, but we're both competitive and want to win. — Austin Dillon
I think we're our biggest competition. I think the racetrack's the biggest competition.

I look at it as a competition between us and the racetrack because it's all about lap time. — Jeff Burton
Winning is the obvious goal, but it's not easy. There are so many good drivers and every week is different. I want to win badly, but I understand that it's going to take hard work. In the meantime I'll continue to set obtainable goals and do my best both on and off the racetrack. — Danica Patrick
There's always a chance that I might not walk away from a racetrack. I don't ever want to think about that, but I'm prepared if something happens. I hope that nothing ever does.

Climbers climb not just to see how fast and efficiently they can do it, but far worse, to see how much faster and more efficiently they are than a party which did the same climb a few days before. The climb becomes secondary, no more important than a racetrack. Man is pitted against man. — Yvon Chouinard
