“when you have something to do life will not allow you to move foward until you do it.”
“If at the one moment in your life when the chance of something transcendental is offered to you, if you have this chance to move beyond the surface of things, to understand - and you say, No, maybe not... What then? How do you explain the rest of your life to yourself? How do you pass the time until you die? Do you substitute for that an interest in what - eating? Do you spend the next sixty years trying to be fascinated by the act of breathing?”
“Why are you doing this to yourself? When something bad happens, why do you have to pick at it until it bleeds all over again?”
“You will never change your life until you change something you do daily.”
“Leaving feels good and pure only when you leave something important, something that mattered to you. Pulling life out by the roots. But you can't do that until your life has grown roots.”
