Quotes by Davy Rothbart (?)

“I often wished that I could split myself a hundred ways and live a hundred separate lives [...]. But in the end, I supposed, we only had one life to lead, and the roads not taken would always outnumber and outshine the roads we end up taking, day by day, without plan.”
― Davy Rothbart, My Heart Is an Idiot: Essays

“There鈥檚 no key to the universe, you just have to point your way in one direction, keep going, keep going, keep going, and see what happens.”

“That's how the universe worked at times: little things - the tiniest things - could catapult you toward a good life, but you had to be open and you had to be paying attention. Love wasn't purely destined, it relied on hiccups of fate - Aimee Mann, someone else's trip to Peru, a black dog.”
