“Always have some project under way...an ongoing project that goes from day to day and thus makes each day a small unit of time.”

But if you have more projects than you have time for, you are not going to be an unhappy person. This is as much a question of having imagination and curiosity as it is of actually making plans.”

“Thus each of us had to be content to live only for the day, alone under the vast indifference of the sky.”
