Most people don't live, they just race.
They are trying to
reach some goal far away on the horizon,
and in the heat of the going
they get so breathless and panting that
they lose all sight of the beautiful,
tranquil country they are passing through
and then the first thing
they know, they are old and worn out,
and it doesn't make any difference
whether they've reached the goal or not.
― Jean Webster, Daddy-Long-Legs
