[M]emory is time folding back on itself. To remember is to disengage from the present.
Garth Stein
That which you manifest is before you. The visible becomes inevitable. Your car goes where your eyes go.
Garth Stein
In racing, they say that your car goes where your eyes go. The driver who cannot tear his eyes away from the wall as he spins out of control will meet that wall the driver who looks down the track as he feels his tires break free will regain control of his vehicle.
Garth Stein
Racing is about discipline and intelligence, not about who has the heavier foot. The one who drives smart will always win in the end.
Garth Stein
That which is around me does not affect my mood my mood affects that which is around me.
Garth Stein
Anyone who has a dog knows that they have some very deep thoughts, that they have moods and emotions, they get their feelings hurt. It's not a far reach to give them opinions and values and long-term desires.
Garth Stein
In Seattle we live among the trees and the waterways, and we feel we are rocked gently in the cradle of life. Our winters are not cold and our summers are not hot and we congratulate ourselves for choosing such a spectacular place to rest our heads.
Garth Stein
The human language, as precise as it is with its thousands of words, can still be so wonderfully vague.
Garth Stein
He died that day because his body had served its purpose. His soul had done what it came to do, learned what it came to learn, and then was free to leave.
Garth Stein
Any problems that may occur have ultimately been caused by you, because you are responsible for where you are and what you are doing there.
Garth Stein
That which we manifest is before us.
Garth Stein
It makes one realize that the physicality if our world is a boundary to us only if our will is weak a true champion can accomplish things that a normal person would think impossible.
Garth Stein
I hear hundreds of years of life. I hear wind and rain and fire and beetles. I hear the seasons changing and birds and squirrels. I hear the life of the trees this wood came from.
Garth Stein
It’s so hard to communicate because there are so many moving parts. There’s presentation and there’s interpretation and they’re so dependent on each other it makes things very difficult.
Garth Stein
To live every day as if it had been stolen from death, that is how I would like to live.
Garth Stein
And I wonder: Have I squandered my dogness? Have I forsaken my nature for my desires? Have I made a mistake by anticipating my future and shunning my present?
Garth Stein
We are all afforded our physical existence so we can learn about ourselves.
Garth Stein
I know in this time of great technological advancement, the idea of reading a book seems almost anachronistic, but I think it's worth preserving.
Garth Stein
Here is why I will be a good person. Because I listen. I cannot speak so I listen very well. I never interrupt, I never deflect the course of the conversation with a comment of my own. ...I beg of you, pretend you are a dog like me and LISTEN to other people rather than steal their stories.
Garth Stein
I know this much about racing in the rain. I know it is about balance. It is about anticipation and patience... [it is also] about the mind! It is about owning one's body... It is about believing that you are not you you are everything. And everything is you.
