“Life equals running and when we stop running maybe that's how we'll know life is finally finished.”

“Life stops when the imagination can't run free.”

“No, we don't walk away. But when we're holding on to something precious, we run. We run and run, fast as we can, and we don't stop running until we are out from under the shadow.”

“How many times in life can we make decisions that are important but will not hurt anyone? Are we obligated- maybe we are- to say yes to any choice when no one will be hurt? We use the word hurt when talking about things like this because when these things go wrong it can feel as if you were hit in the sternum by a huge animal that's run for miles just to strike you.”

“We don't stop, not even when we reach the finish line. It's a journey for life, Neve.”

“Life is a Sisyphean race, run ever faster toward a finish line that is merely the start of the next race”
