“To finish the moment, to find the journey's end in every step of the road, to live the greatest number of good hours, is wisdom. It is not the part of men, but of fanatics, or of mathematicians, if you will, to say, that, the shortness of life considered, it is not worth caring whether for so short a duration we were sprawling in want, or sitting high. Since our office is with moments, let us husband them.” IfsMenWantLifeEndsMomentsWisdomTimeHoursNumbersStepsJourneyHusbandOfficeSittingCaringMathematicianFanaticsEvery StepDurationLife TimeShortnessShortness Of Life Book:The Portable Emerson: New Edition Source: The Portable Emerson: New Edition

“Every writer has to make an emotional journey from artist sitting in attic to being part of a business. The writer of a film is like Tinkerbell. You are only there because people believe in you.

“Journeys become very good metaphors. They always have the character put into circumstances that reveal him.
