A conservative young man has wound up his life before it was unreeled.
We are speeding up our lives and working harder in a futile attempt to buy the time to slow down and enjoy it.
There was always a quest for more minutes, more hours, faster progress to accomplish more in each day. The simple joy of living between summers was gone.
I don't like where I'm going and I don't like where I've been. Why am I in a hurry?
I've never been very good at slowing down.
I don't seem to have time to breathe. Everything's happening so quickly, and so much is happening all the time.
I did everything young. I was always in a hurry to do everything. I had kids young and I worked young and I didn't have time to go back to school because I wasn't willing to give up anything that I had.
I work six months and get three or four with the family. I've stopped racing to get to the red light.
Reflection is not something you have a lot of time for.
We're all confounded by a lack of time.
I feel like I'm always on the go, I'm always on the run.
Each thing I do, I rush through, so I can do something else.
I feel like I was 30 when I was 17, and I decided to get married and have a baby.
For most of us, the great danger is not that we will renounce our faith. It is that we will become so distracted and rushed and preoccupied that we will settle for a mediocre version of it. We will just skim our lives instead of actually living them.
