Quotes by Richard Polt (?)

“What makes my life my own is ultimately the sheer fact that it is mine to live, mine to make something of, in the face of my possible non-existence. Every other possibility is something that I may be free not to do, and that someone else may be able to do just as well as I can. But my death is a possibility that necessarily faces me alone: no one can face it for me.”
― Richard Polt

“Why do we do inefficient things? Because sometimes we don’t want life to be seamless—we want to feel resistance, we want to take our time, we want to savor the experience. When what you’re doing isn’t just a means to an end, you’re in no hurry to get it done.”
― Richard Polt, The Typewriter Revolution: A Typist's Companion for the 21st Century

“We process information so efficiently that we don’t dwell on thoughts and words anymore—we flit incoherently from one set of distractions to the next.”
