6
Martha Beck
One reason most people never stop thinking is that mental frenzy keeps us from having to see the upsetting aspects of our lives. If I'm constantly brooding about my children or career, I won't notice that I'm lonely. If I grapple continuously with logistical problems, I can avoid contemplating little issues like, say, my own mortality.
7
Chester Bennington
You're constantly trying to prove yourself, even after you've made it.

I don't have ideas so much as there are things which constantly evolve... there are various threads or layers, if you like, which change.
