Have you ever observed that we pay much more attention to a wise passage when it is quoted than when we read it in the original author?

Just remember, the same as a spectacular Vogue magazine, remember that no matter how close you follow the jumps: Continued on page whatever. No matter how careful you are, there’s going to be the sense you missed something, the collapsed feeling under your skin that you didn’t experience it all. There’s that fallen heart feeling that you rushed right through the moments where you should’ve been paying attention. Well, get used to that feeling. That’s how your whole life will feel some day. This is all practice. None of this matters. We’re just warming up.
To see what is in front of one’s nose needs a constant struggle.
As I grow older, I pay less attention to what men say. I just watch what they do.
