“I've always hated change. I've always hated when time marched on and wished that sometimes it would just stand still for a while. But time can never stand still, because if I stay in this moment forever, I miss all of the things that I could have seen and done because I am a finite, flawed creature, blinded by the moment so much that I can't entertain the possibility that the future will be better. But it's always better, whether we see it or not. It's better because it's progression. It's growth. You have to appreciate things when you have them, and then let them go. I love this moment. But now... it's gone. Just like that.”
― Johnny B. Truant

“Give a man a fire and he's warm for a day, but set fire to him and he's warm for the rest of his life.”

“I love deadlines. I love the whooshing noise they make as they go by.”
