What with your phone and the Xbox and the taxi TV and that music player you wear on your arm and the headphones that look like donuts on your ears, doesn’t it make life so much smaller? If absolutely everything important is only happening on such a small screen, isn’t that a shame? Especially when the world is so overwhelmingly large and surprising? Are you missing too much? You can’t imagine it now, but you’ll look like me one day, even though you’ll feel just the same as you do now. You’ll catch a glimpse of yourself in the mirror and think how quickly it’s all gone, and I wonder if all the time you used watching those families whose lives are filmed for the television, and making those cartoons of yourselves with panting dog tongues, and chasing after that terrible Pokémon fellow…well, will it feel like time well spent? . Lauren Graham
About This Quote

The truth is, the world is so huge. It is so much bigger than you can imagine. There are so many things to see, so many things to do, so many people to meet, so much music to listen to. It’s impossible to know everything.

The best way to spend your time is doing what you enjoy. If there are other things that interest you, then go see them. You can learn many things from others while being entertained at the same time.
