"To treat all these moments solely as stepping-stones to some future moment

is to demonstrate a level of obliviousness to our real situation that would be jaw-dropping if it weren’t for the fact that we all do it, all the time.”

"Our lives, thanks to their finitude, are inevitably full of activities that we’re doing for the very last time

Just as there will be a final occasion on which I pick up my son-a thought that appalls me, but one that’s hard to deny, since I surely won’t be doing it when he’s 30

was more painful

Life is a process of becoming, a combination of states we have to go through….

A predatory tiger to be shot.

Others look on it as a cow they can milk.

Not enough people see it as a healthy horse, pulling a sturdy wagon.

The present isn’t as bad as you think.

The future will be better than you anticipate.
