About This Quote

The quote goes on to say, 'But he had no time for the words. He had too many of them to fit his life.' The main idea is that Tim had a lot of talents and abilities but he was never satisfied with his current level of success. He wanted to be more than what he was today. He wanted to be a poet, but he didn't have enough time to put into poetry. He wanted to be taken seriously, but he didn't have enough time for that either.
