“I miss being the age when I thought I’d have my shit together by the time I was the age I am now..”

“The time is now, the person is you; better your life and become a name to conjure with in this day and age.”

“We often hear about stepping outside ourselves, but rarely about stepping outside our generation.”

“A man that is young in years may be old in hours if he have lost no time. ”

“Now I wonder if it means that the future is a place, or like a place, that I could go to; that is go to in some way otherthan just getting older.”

“It’s funny, I don’t feel any older than I did when I was twenty. But I know I am, because recently some twenty-year-old called me ‘sir.’ Sometimes the only way you know you are getting older is by the way others treat you.”

“For children, childhood is timeless. It is always the present. Everything is in the present tense. Of course, they have memories. Of course, time shifts a little for them and Christmas comes round in the end. But they don’t feel it. Today is what they feel, and when they say ‘When I grow up,’ there is always an edge of disbelief—how could they ever be other than what they are?”

“And still the brain continues to yearn, continues to burn, foolishly, with desire.

“By the time you’re thirty, your worst enemy is yourself.”

“This life therefore is not righteousness, but growth in righteousness, not health, but healing, not being but becoming, not rest but exercise. We are not yet what we shall be, but we are growing toward it, the process is not yet finished, but it is going on, this is not the end, but it is the road. All does not yet gleam in glory, but all is being purified.”

“A seeker of radical strenght Keeps everything on track, Feeble force yields at length, Not sure where to go back. When one can’t find courage, And all the efforts seem vain, It’s advised to fight like a sage: Be powerful like a bullet train! Too much work and no play Can make a brain go astray! Determined to live and stay Can lead life into a long way.”
