“live life to the fullest as if it was your last”

“The real distinction between being great and being less great seems to be the extent to which we are willing to be pushed along by our own desires.”

“Everything changes your life.”

“Some things in life are certain; death, taxes, and that your family will piss you off.”

“For the first half of your life each minute feels like a year, but for the second half, each year feels like a minute.”

“Slowness seems to be a key element in living a rich life. I don't mean rich in the sense of money. I mean rich in the ability to feel things as they're happening, to not constantly be thinking of the next thing.”

Nothing else matters.”
