“The value of one’s time should not be predicated on anyone else’s preference for how it should be spent, as if anyone truly knew. ”
― Robert Pantano, Notes from the End of Everything

“Time is the most valuable thing. That’s what people say. This seems undisputable on the surface, I suppose; but fundamentally, I don’t know if time is inherently any more valuable than anything else. With no one to spend it, time means nothing.”
― Robert Pantano, Notes from the End of Everything

“Being born renders two inevitable experiences: living and dying. And both are terrifying.”
― Robert Pantano, Notes from the End of Everything

“To properly spend one’s time, one needs enough time to evaluate time properly. To try as many things, go through as many different processes, experience different lifestyles, visit different places, live with different people, and so on. But there is not even close to enough time to do a fraction of any of this. And so we all meander through our absurd lives, filling our time with endeavors, pursuits, and activities, not because we know that it’s what we want to do, nor what we should do, but because we have time and it must be spent.”
