Jesse Owens Quotes

I let my feet spend as little time on the ground as possible. From the air, fast down, and from the ground, fast up Picture Quote #1

Running is real. It’s all joy and woe, hard as diamond. It makes you weary beyond comprehension, but it also makes you free Picture Quote #1

I’d noticed him watching me for a year or so, especially when we’d play games where there was running or jumping Picture Quote #1

I realized now that militancy in the best sense of the word was the only answer where the black man was concerned, that any black man who wasn’t a militant in 1970 was either blind or a coward Picture Quote #1

I fought, I fought harder... but one cell at a time, panic crept into my body, taking me over Picture Quote #1

It’s like having a pet dog for a long time. You get attached to it, and when it dies you miss it Picture Quote #1

I always loved running... it was something you could do by yourself, and under your own power. You could go in any direction, fast or slow as you wanted, fighting the wind if you felt like it, seeking out new sights just on the strength of your feet and the courage of your lungs Picture Quote #1

People come out to see you perform and you’ve got to give them the best you have within you Picture Quote #1

We used to have a lot of fun. We never had any problems. We always ate. The fact that we didn’t have steak? Who had steak? Picture Quote #1

One day or another every athlete feels like taking it easy. He stops trying to exceed his limits, and thinks he can keep winning because of his lucky star, or the bad luck of his opponents. You must overcome this negative instinct, which affects all of us, and which is the only difference between the person who wins a race, and those who lose. This is the battle you have to fight every day of your life Picture Quote #1

That was my goal in portraying Jesse Owens: bringing that level of humanity so people could understand who he was as a person Picture Quote #1
