A man must find time for himself.

Time is what we spend our lives with.

If we are not careful we find others spending it for us. . . .

It is necessary now and then for a man

to go away by himself and experience loneliness;

to sit on a rock in the forest and to ask of himself,

"Who am I, and where have I been, and where am I going?" . . .

If one is not careful, one allows diversions to take up one's time—

the stuff of life.

~Carl Sandburg
