Quote by Kristy McGinnis

“When you were living in the moment though, it wasn’t possible to truly understand how finite it all was. Don’t we all secretly hope that we are the exception to the rules of time? We might even be immortal. Then, one day, something happens, you see your aging reflection in the mirror, really see it, and you know you’ve been fooling yourself. You can’t go back and relive it again and remembering can be a beautiful thing, but it can also break your heart.”

“All beings experience hunger, that persistent reminder of mortality. The blooming hollow inside all, which affirms that only by taking from without and devouring within can we extend our coil. Hunger is universal for those who are destined to die. As they feed, they pay the incremental bribes that forestall its coming.”

“And another important fact was this-I was not seeking all of her. Her entire being wouldn't fit, perhaps, in the small box I pos- sessed now. I was no longer a seventeen-year-old boy. Back then, I had all the time in the world. But not now. The time I have now, and the ways I can use it, have become so limited. What I sought now was the gentle warmth that lay inside, beneath her defensive wall. And the rhythmic beat of the heart that lay pulsing beneath. At this point was I asking for too little? Or too much?”

“Per quanti oggetti possediate, la loro quantità è pur sempre limitata. Se riuscite a scoprire quali oggetti vi danno gioia e a decidere dove riporli, il riordino finirà, prima o poi. Più andate avanti, più vi avvicinate all'obiettivo di avere una casa piena di felicità.”

“Secondo dei dati statistici, trascorriamo in media trenta minuti al giorno a cercare le cose, e chi è particolarmente disordinato dedica alla ricerca degli oggetti smarriti addirittura due ore al giorno. Se una persona lavora venti giorni al mese, significa che spreca fino a quaranta ore al mese a cercare cose che non sono al loro posto. Se riuscite a risolvere questo problema in sole sei ore, il ritorno dell’investimento di tempo sarà enorme e immediato. Con una scrivania ordinata che vi dà gioia, la vostra efficienza al lavoro è destinata a crescere.”
