Rally/Racing Quotes

I'm taking an Advenced Printmaking class at school, and we have to make a book. It won't be a long one, but it's more about the process and uniqueness than anything else. I'm considering doing it on rally. Do you guys have any good quotes that really sum up the the sport or are cool or just clever? Please list whoever said it, too.

Ones to exclude because I already know them and/or am not a fan of them:

"Real roads, real fast, etc; that one."

"To finish first, first you must finish."

"Press on Regardless"

"If you aren't f---ing scared, you aren't trying(?) hard enough."

To turn go left, you have to turn right; the Cars one.

"It's like motocross with a rollcage."

"When in doubt, flat out."

So yeah, NOW fire away.

"Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car, oversteer with the back. Horsepower is how fast you hit it and torque if how far you take the wall"

"There are only two types of rally drivers. Those who have and those who will."

"Heavy foot, empty head." Juha Kankkunen on why Finnish rally drivers are so good.

"Circuit racing makes me dizzy" - Henrik Lundgaard - european WRC privateers cup champion 1992.... and Dane :-).
Incidentially he actually went into circuit racing later, in the Danish touring car championship (DTC), and did pretty well. Guess he got over the dizzyness issue.
