“Succeeding in life is about having that onetime urgency to go for it.”
Vernon Davis

Maurice Sendak
“I can't believe I've turned into a typical old man. I can't believe it. I was young just minutes ago.”
Maurice Sendak, Where the Wild Things Are

Elisabeth Kübler-Ross
“When we ask someone "How old are you?" we are really asking them "What time are you?" We're trying to slap a frame of reference on the person by bringing the past into play.
When I find out how old you are, I know what memories you are likely to have. Depending on your age, you may know all about the Marshall Plan, Jackie O., the first moon walk, dial phones, disco, or DOS. I can call this information up in a friendly way, singing old Beatles songs with you. I can bring it back in a hostile way, thinking that you're a fool to have gotten caught up in "flower power." In either case, I'm not seeing you exactly as you are now. I'm judging by what I see as the sum of your past experiences.”
Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, Life Lessons: Two Experts on Death and Dying Teach Us About the Mysteries of Life and Living

S.E. Hinton
“I could fall in love with Dallas Winston," she said. "I hope I never see him
again, or I will.”
S.E. Hinton, The Outsiders
