I have never been able to grasp the meaning of time. I don't believe it exists. I've felt this again and again when alone and out in nature. On such occasions time does not exist. Nor does the future exist.

A leader does not deserve the name unless he is willing occasionally to stand alone.

I think I don't regret a single 'excess' of my responsive youth - I only regret in my chilled age certain occasions and possibilities I didn't embrace.
