“With sports, you have no time to reflect. You just do.”
“People always ask me if I’m into sports, and I say, “Well, isn’t writing a sport? If you’re doing it right, and you have a deadline, you should be sweating.”
“Reflect as if you have all of time, even when time is short.”
“Living in a way that reflects one's values is not just about what you do, it is also about how you do things.”
“The time is at hand when you will have forgotten everything; and the time is at hand when all will have forgotten you. Always reflect that soon you will be no one, and nowhere.”
“I reflected, not for the first or last time, that when you are reading, others think they can disturb you because you are not doing anything.”
