“I like walking because it is slow, and I suspect that the mind, like the feet, works at about three miles an hour. If this is so, then modern life is moving faster than the speed of thought or thoughtfulness.”

“A clock that is moving through space at a very fast speed does not tick at the same rate as a slow-moving watch gently attached to your wrist as you stroll on a tropical beach. The idea of a universal time - a godlike clock that could somehow sit outside our universe and measure, in one go, the movement of everything in it, how its evolution unfolds, how old it is and all that - does not exist.”

“It wasn’t until I slowed the car and rolled down the windows that I realized I spend most of my days driving ‘throughâ€� life without driving ‘inâ€� life. So, I’ve decided to walk because the pace is slower and the windows are always down.”

“Crumbling is not an instant's Act
A fundamental pause
Dilapidation's processes
Are organized Decays.
'Tis first a Cobweb on the Soul
A Cuticle of Dust
A Borer in the Axis
An Elemental Rust�
Ruin is formal—Devil's work
Consecutive and slow�
Fail in an instant, no man did
Slipping—is Crash's law.”
― The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson

“All this waiting.
Waiting for the rain to
stop. Waiting in traffic.
Waiting for the bill.
Waiting at the airport
for an old friend.
Waiting to depart.
Then,
there’s the big waiting:
waiting to grow up. Waiting
for love. Waiting to show your
your parents that when you
have kids you’ll be different.
Waiting to retire. Waiting for
death.
Why do we think waiting
is the antithesis of life
when it is almost
all of it?”

“He sat beside the window in the dark, with his eyes closed. Hearing to the sound of the rain. The whisky in his glass burnt his throat, while the smoke of his cigarette filled his lungs and the fire inside his heart consumed his soul slowly.”

“... quando un cristiano sente il desiderio di prendere un caffè, non è perché vuole bere un caffè, ma perché ha avvertito il bisogno di entrare di nuovo in contatto con l'umanità , e quindi deve interrompere il lavoro che stava facendo, invitare uno o più colleghi ad andare a prendersi il caffè insieme, camminare al sole fino al bar preferito, vincere una piccola gara con annessa colluttazione per chi offre i suddetti caffè, fare un complimento alla cassiera, due chiacchiere sportive con il barista ed il tutto senza dare nessuna istruzione sul tipo di caffè preferito, dal momento che un vero barista deve già conoscere il gusto del suo cliente.”

"A back rub is harmless."

“[...] il difetto del turista consiste nella sua voglia eccessiva di sapere e scoprire tutto in pochi giorni. Molto spesso ho consigliato ai viaggiatori di pazientare e non avere fretta. Il bel viaggio non finisce, perché custodisce in sé la promessa di un nuovo inizio per quello seguente. È come i racconti di Shahrazad, che non finiscono mai, iniziano sempre. (p. 151)”
