Or at the very least, read these quotes. I don’t usually (as in, ever) promote the reader’s digest version of things, but this quote came to mind recently and I just have to repeat it here:
“Seeing so much further into the future than he did, she pressed towards it with passionate tread, wrecking the present because the future was bound to be a wreck.”
It’s out of context, of course, so either read this and other delectable quotes here, or get thee to a library or e-reader today.
