I like deadlines. I like the wooshing sound they make as they go past.

"Without a deadline
I do nothing
With a deadline
I do nothing
Until the deadline is upon me
Then I panic
Which is doing nothing quickly"

“Let your boat of life be light, packed with only what you need - a homely home and simple pleasures, one or two friends, worth the name, someone to love and someone to love you, a cat, a dog, and a pipe or two, enough to eat and enough to wear, and a little more than enough to drink; for thirst is a dangerous thing. ”

I remember coming out of my english literature 'o'level exam and the chatter about the questions and answers. One of my pals had panicked - couldn't answer any of the questions very well but remembered that our teacher had said it was important to illustrate any of your answers with a quote. So he put any word he could be sure must be in a book somewhere in inverted commas - "he", "it". "those" and so on.
