  4. John Koenig:

    We like to think that every moment has potential, that there’s something transcendent hidden all around, that if you’d only stop to seize the day, you could hold onto it and carry it with you.

Chances are that even a day like today will slip through your fingers and dissolve into oblivion, washed clean by the tides.
