“Small things were important. Seconds were small things, and if you heaped enough of those on top of one another, they became a man's life.”
“You'll see, you'll come to understand. These big things, these terrible things, are not the important ones. If they were, how could one go on living? No, it is the small, little things that make up a day, that bring fullness and happiness to a life.”
“Only the small things in life are important”
“I am a man without many pleasures in life, a man whose few pleasures are small, but a man whose small pleasures are very important to him. One of them is eating. One reading. Another reading while eating.”
“Sometimes its the small things in life that matter... but then again, is it the big things in life that are important?”
“We may talk a good game and write even better ones, but we never outgrow those small wounded things we were when we were five and six and seven.”
