“Kelley also marked 1965 as a turning point for another profound reason. That year, he discovered the work of author Ayn Rand. She was a figure who embodied the inner fortitude he lacked. Her writings struck him with the force of lightning. Rand's fiercely armored heroes ignited a fierce resolve in Kelley. It was a fire that mere introspection could never spark. This was no longer a time for lingering in emotion. It demanded action. He abandoned drinking. He embraced a rigorous exercise regimen. He revolutionized his diet. He dropped twenty pounds.”

“the illusion of speed is the belief that it saves time. it looks simple at first sight: finish something in two hours instead of three, gain an hour. it’s an abstract calculation, though, done as if each hour of the day were like an hour on the clock, absolutely equal. but haste and speed accelerate time, which passes more quickly, and two hours of hurry shorten a day. every minute is torn apart by being segmented, stuffed to bursting. you can pile a mountain of things into an hour. days of slow walking are very long: they make you live longer, because you have allowed every hour, every minute, every second to breathe, to deepen, instead of filling them up by straining the joints. hurrying means doing several things at once, and quickly: this; then that; and then something else. when you hurry, time is filled to bursting, like a badly-arranged drawer in which you have stuffed different things without any attempt at order.”
