Everyone is coming after me now. Fine, let them keep on coming. I'm the fastest man in the world, no doubt.

Among the world elite there are a handful of athletes who are physically capable of winning it.

I don't think about second or third place.

Athens is a great place for me. It is my second home. It's where I won my first world championship medal, it's where I set my world record.

I have lived pain, and my life can tell: I only deepen the wound of the world when I neglect to give thanks the heavy perfume of wild roses in early July and the song of crickets on summer humid nights and the rivers that run and the stars that rise and the rain that falls and all the good things that a good God gives.

Time will tell whether I am a wing nut or a megalomaniac. The difference between a cult and faith is time.

Humans love truth and justice, and rejoice in ceremonies that honor those qualities. For that sentiment we should indeed thank God.

I've never heard God speak out loud to me. That's not an experience I have had.
