“The 'what' of life is immediate, but the 'why' trails along at its own pace.”

“The only life worth living is the adventurous life. Of such a life the dominant characteristic is that it is unafraid. It is unafraid of what other people think...It does not adapt either its pace or its objectives to the pace and objectives of its neighbors. It thinks its own thoughts, it reads its own books. It develops its own hobbies, and it is governed by its own conscience. The herd may graze where it pleases or stampede where it pleases, but he who lives the adventurous life will remain unafraid when he finds himself alone.”

“…we can not love or think except in fragments of time each of which goes along its own trajectory and immediately disappears.”

“... we cannot love or think except in fragments of time each of which goes off along its own trajectory and immediately disappears.”

“It moves at its own measured pace, for it has no reason to hurry. Tomorrow will come in its own good time.”

“It's not the pace of life I mind. It's the sudden stop at the end.”
