“Tomorrow is the first day of the rest of our lives.”
“Only in our dreams are we free. The rest of the time we need wages.”
“Give a man a fire and he's warm for a day, but set fire to him and he's warm for the rest of his life.”
“Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.”
“I'll never be like this again . . . I'll never again feel as tall as the sky and as old as the hills and as strong as the sea. I've been given something for a while, and the price of it is that I have to give it back. And the reward is giving it back, too. No human could live like this. You could spend a day looking at a flower to see how wonderful it is, and that wouldn't get the milking done. No wonder we dream our way through our lives. To be awake, and see it all as it really is...no one could stand that for long.”
“We sleepwalk through our lives, because how could we live if we were always this awake?”
“Tomorrow here is just like yesterday, warmed over.”
