“Writing is like driving at night in the fog. You can only see as far as your headlights, but you can make the whole trip that way.”

“If you are investing in your education and you are learning, you should do that as early as you possibly can, because then it will have time to compound over the longest period.

A schedule is a mock-up of reason and order—willed, faked, and so brought into being; it is a peace and a haven set into the wreck of time; it is a lifeboat on which you find yourself, decades later, still living.”
