My life is slowed up by thought and the need to understand what I am living.

Life is too short, or too long, for me to allow myself the luxury of living it so badly.

It seems as though I'm going nowhere really fucking fast.

Don't you ever get the feeling that all your life is going by and you're not taking advantage of it? Do you realize you've lived nearly half the time you have to live already?

The way to live a full life is to act quickly.

Particularly as you grow older, it's alarmingly easy to let a year or two (or five) slip by without doing the big things you always felt like doing. You get into a rhythm—not necessarily one you love, but one you become comfortable repeating—and the grooves of your daily routine become deeper and more established.

Speed is perpetually undervalued. That doesn't mean you should feel frantic or rushed. In fact, it's likely you should eliminate some of the things that make you feel so busy to make space for things you always wanted to do. But it definitely means you should stop letting the days drift by waiting for the moment to be right.

Stop acting like there is infinite time. This—the way you are living right now—is your one life.

Don’t be desperate to get a role by living a fast life, it kills and destroys.

That is my problem with life, I just rush through it, like I'm being chased. Even things whose whole point is slowness, like drinking relaxing tea. When I drink relaxing tea I suck it down like I'm in a contest for who can drink relaxing tea the quickest.

It's unrealistic to live your life within such strict parameters.

Growing up is not going nearly as efficiently as I had hoped.

Why should we live with such hurry and waste of life?

Life is too short. I don't have time to speak slowly.

Have you heard
It was on the news
Your child can read you like a bedtime story
Like a magazine
Like a has-been out to grass
Like afternoon T.V.
Why is my life going by so fast?
