"Athletics is a luxury."
Sports
"Mothers, unless they were very poor, didn't work. Both of my parents had to leave education. My mother had to work in a cotton mill until 18 or 19, when she took some training in domestic science."
Science
"I was involved in music, acting, and some running, but my firm wish was to become a doctor. That was the formative age when I had decided on the pattern of my career."
Age
"I've always been very impatient. At age 10 I frankly found life boring, and I can remember age 9 having the awful thought, as it seems now looking back on it, A war! That should liven things up a bit!"
Life
"My athleticism was really the core to social acceptance, because in those days the overwhelming number of students came from more of a public school background than I did."
Acceptance
"My concentration was really on getting to university and becoming a doctor. My parents let me know that school marks were important. Achievement was something which came by hard work."
Work
"Your spikes, which were really quite long then, would catch the material of the track and your shoe would get heavier. I was simply filing them down and rubbing some graphite on the spikes. I thought I would run more effectively."
Thought
"I was playing rugby and the other games English school children do, and there was an event in which races were run, and I won these by a considerable margin."
Family
"I was always a great bundle of energy. As a child, instead of walking, I would run. And so running, which is a pain to a lot of people, was always a pleasure to me because it was so easy."
People
"My introduction to track racing was through the background of cross country running, which is not a sport perhaps as popular in America as it is in England."
