Marcia’s Quotes

“Listen--are you breathing just a little, and calling it a life?”
― Mary Oliver

tags: life-poetry

1870 likes

“Carve out the time. Notice I do not say find the time. That is an absurd and dangerous phrase. Time is never lying around waiting for us to find her. She is elusive. She wants you to sculpt her like clay, to mold her into exactly the form you desire your days to take. If you refuse to do that, if you spend your mornings worrying and your afternoons catering to others, always hoping there will be a few minutes left for you, time will play you like a sucker, making you run harder and faster with each passing week. Time wants you to realize that she is the most precious and irreducible fact in your live. Make her into what you will”
― Jennifer Louden

“Write down everything that you accomplished today. Instead of a “to do” list, this is a “done” list. Include everything!”
