In racing, they say that your car goes where your eyes go. The driver who cannot tear his eyes away from the wall as he spins out of control will meet that wall; the driver who looks down the track as he feels his tires break free will regain control of his vehicle. Garth Stein
It's not that you should never love something so much that it can control you. It's that you need to love something that much so you can never be controlled. It's not a weakness. It's your best strength.

Bell Hooks
Life is to be lived, not controlled; and humanity is won by continuing to play in face of certain defeat.

Ralph Ellison
You must learn to let go. Release the stress. You were never in control anyway.

More Quotes By Garth Stein

To separate oneself from the burden, the angst, the anguish that we all encounter everyday. To say I am alive, I am wonderful, I am. I am. That is something to aspire to.
[T]he race is long - to finish first, first you must finish.
