“I'd rather chase the sun than wait for it.”

“They say there's a heaven for those who will wait
Some say it's better but I say it ain't.
I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints
Sinners are much more fun…
And only the good die young.”

“You said
 Remember that life is
Not meant to be wasted
 We can always be chasing the sun
 So fill up your lungs and just—run!
 We can always be chasing the sun”

“The sun is a-wait at the ponderous gate of the West.”

“Great. I'd been dumped in Hell's waiting room.”

“Talk not to me of blasphemy, man; I'd strike the sun if it insulted me.”

“One must dare to show what he wants. You have to go and ask for things rather than wait for them to happen.”

“And I was strong, strong in the sun
I thought I'd see when day is done.
Now I'm weaker than the palest blue
Oh, so weak in the need for you.”

“Rather than words comes the thought of high windows:
The sun-comprehending glass,
And beyond it, the deep blue air, that shows
Nothing, and is nowhere, and is endless.”

“A democratic experimentalist will not stand waiting for the next magical moment. Rather than have us be crowned by history, he will insist that we crown ourselves.”
