1 " God has given me a lifeboat and said... 'Moody save all you can "
― Dwight L. Moody
2 " " I look upon this world as a wrecked vessel. God has given me a lifeboat and said, 'Moody, save all you can. "
3 " How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives. What we do with this hour, and that one, is what we are doing. A schedule defends from chaos and whim. It is a net for catching days. It is a scaffolding on which a worker can stand and labor with both hands at sections of time. A schedule is a mock-up of reason and order—willed, faked, and so brought into being; it is a peace and a haven set into the wreck of time; it is a lifeboat on which you find yourself, decades later, still living. "
― Annie Dillard , The Writing Life
4 " She gave me this look – she might have been watching from a lifeboat as the ship went down. Or maybe it was the other way around. "
― Haruki Murakami , Pinball, 1973 (The Rat, #2)
