“Sometimes it's necessary to go a long distance out of the way in order to come back a short distance correctly.”

“It's one of those things a person has to do; sometimes a person has to go a very long distance out of his way to come back a short distance correctly.”

“Another long run, hoping to put distance between me and everything else. The farther, the better. Only problem is, the distance is just temporary, because no matter how far I go, I always have to come back.”

“God reveals Himself in rearview mirrors. And I've an inkling that there are times when we need to drive a long, long distance, before we can look back and see God's back in the rearview mirror. Maybe sometimes about as far as heaven -- that kind of distance.”

“Ideas do not have to be correct in order to be good; its only necessary that, if they do fail, they do so in an interesting way. ”

“Later up in my room, I kept thinking about this, the idea of distance and accomplishment. The further you go, the more you have to be proud of. At the same time, in order to come a long way, you have to be behind to begin with. In the end though, maybe it's not how you reach a place that matters. Just that you get there at all.”
