“If you make something your life's work, make sure it's something you can feel proud of when you're an old relic like me.”

“When something is important to you, you make sure its safe.”

“Travelling's not something you're good at. It's something you do. Like breathing. You can't work too much at it, or it feels like work. You have to surrender yourself to the chaos. To the accidents.”

“To do great work, you need to feel that you're making a difference. That you're putting a meaningful dent in the universe. That you are part of something important.”

“The dictionary defines pride as “pleasure or satisfaction in one’s work or achievement.” According to that definition a person needs to do something before you can be proud of them. You could not be proud of them simply for who they are. I’m not sure I know what pride in another person feels like.”

“You cannot make yourself feel something you do not feel, but you can make yourself do right in spite of your feelings.”
