We live in an almost perfect stillness and work with incredible urgency.

All of us are feeling scattered and distracted as we try to keep up with an accelerating world. But nearly all of us have an answer in our hands, in simply choosing to do nothing and go nowhere for a while.

We all must live our lives always feeling, always thinking the moment has arrived.

Grant us a brief delay; impulse in everything is but a worthless servant.

One must either take an interest in the human situation or else parade before the void.

We must act out passion before we can feel it.

We're a fast-moving, needy species.

Many of us have felt that sense of desperation - of urgency - when we learn that we or someone we love is fighting for their life.
