from Fiesta, The Sun Also Rises by Earnest Hemingway

* I can't stand it to think my life is going so fast, and I'm not really living it.

* You can't get away from yourself by moving from one place to another.

* ...certain injuries or imperfections are a subject of merriment while remaining quite serious for the person possesing them.

* You gave up something and got something else. Or you worked for something. You paid some way for everything that was any good. Either you paid by learning about them, or by experience, or by taking chances, or by money. Enjoying living was learning to get your money's worth. The world was a good place to buy in.
Perhaps that wasn't true, though. Perhaps as you went along, you did learn something, I did not care what it was all about. All I wanted to know was how to live in it. Maybe if you found out how to live in it you learned from that what it was all about.
