Abdelkader Benali
“Een marathon is een duurloop van dertig kilometer gevolgd door een wedstrijd van 12,2 kilometer, wordt weleens gezegd.”
Abdelkader Benali, Marathonloper

Jarod Kintz
“Sometimes I fish, and sometimes my vending machine is broken so I can’t. Thanks for all your Butterfly Smiles. I have them FOR SALE as Powdered PowWOW Substitute, for people who shower like they spent the night sleepwalking through a marathon at the pace of a sprinting duck.”
Jarod Kintz, Music is fluid, and my saxophone overflows when my ducks slosh in the sounds I make in elevators.
