• We all have a lot of people inside us, yet we get to live only one life. Fiction lets us slip into someone else’s skin, so to speak. That’s why we read novels, and also why we write them - to experience more life, through imagination.

• Everyone lets the present moment slip by, then looks for it as though he thought it was somewhere else. No one seems to have noticed this fact. But grasping this firmly, one must pile experience upon experience. And once one has come to this understanding he will be a different person from that point on, though he may not always bare it in mind. When one understands this settling into single-mindedness well, his affairs will thin out.

  Yamamoto Tsunetomo

• Once I thought I saw you in a crowded hazy bar,
  Dancing on the light from star to star.
  Far across the moonbeam I know that's who you are,
  I saw your brown eyes turning once to fire.
  
  I am just a dreamer, but you are just a dream,
  You could have been anyone to me.
  Before that moment you touched my lips
  That perfect feeling when time just slips
  Away between us on our foggy trip.

  Neil Young

• Remember how often you have postponed minding your interest, and let slip those opportunities the gods have given you. It is now high time to consider what sort of world you are part of, and from what kind of governor of it you are descended; that you have a set period assigned you to act in, and unless you improve it to brighten and compose your thoughts, it will quickly run off with you, and be lost beyond recovery.
