The more material we lose, the less we have. The less we have, the more we win.

The universe doesn't know good or bad, only less or more.

He looked around. The room, a few suitcases, some belongings, a handful of well-read books_ a man needed few things to live. And it was good not to get used to many things when life was unsettled. Again and again one had to abandon them or they were taken away. One should be ready to leave every day. That was the reason he had lived alone_ when one was on the move one should not have anything that could bind one. Nothing that could stir the heart. The adventure_ but nothing more.

There is nothing more dangerous to the adventurous spirit than a secure future that can predict the same sun on every horizon because they only see the same view.

Don__ we all look up at the same stars?

Wasting time on timing stuff is a good way to save time from being wasted on other pointless activities like writing, reading, and sleeping.
