I don't mean you disregard every rule of your community. I don't go around naked, for example. I don't run through red lights. The little things, I can obey.

Everyone is in such a hurry. People haven’t found meaning in their lives, so they’re running all the time looking for it. They think the next car, the next house, the next job. Then they find those things are empty, too, and they keep running. Once you start running, it’s hard to slow yourself down.
