I'm not a very fast-paced person. — Patrick Fugit

Death affords those who are left an opportunity to reevaluate everything. And though we would give all we have to defer that opportunity, it exists anyway.

Mainly, it gives us the chance to live life in the present. — Joan Bordow

Boorstin

It does a bullet no good to go fast; and a man, if he be truly a man, no harm to go slow; for his glory is not at all in going, but in being. — John Ruskin
