“Oh, for the sake of momentum
I've allowed my fears to get larger than life.”

"Momentum"
Song lyrics, Magnolia: Music from the Motion Picture (1999)
Context: Oh, for the sake of momentum
I've allowed my fears to get larger than life.
And it's brought me to my current agendum
Whereupon I deny fulfillment has yet to arrive.And I know life is getting shorter,
I can't bring myself to set the scene.
Even when it's approaching torture,
I've got my routine.

“I spent my entire career in business, and was fortunate to experience success. Essential to my success, however, was the fact that I was engaged in the larger world around me as a curious person who wanted to learn. I did not rely only on business perspectives. In fact, it was a drive to understand and enjoy life -- and be connected to something larger than myself in my love of reading, learning, and in my case, studying and learning about Judaism -- that allows me, at 84, to see my life as fully rounded.”

Edgar Bronfman, Sr. (1929–2013) Canadian-American businessman
