Summary

This quote suggests that individuals who are considered "losers" tend to dwell on the past or worry excessively about the future instead of living in the present moment. By doing so, they miss out on the opportunities and experiences available to them in the present. This mindset can contribute to a negative spiral where their current circumstances and future outlook become further compromised. Therefore, the quote serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of embracing the present and actively engaging with it rather than being consumed by regret or anticipation.

I wanted to get out and walk southward toward the park through the soft twilight, but each time I tried to go I became entangled in some wild, strident argument which pulled me back, as if with ropes, into my chair. Yet high over the city our line of yellow windows must have contributed their share of human secrecy to the casual watcher in the darkening streets, and I was him too, looking up and wondering. I was within and without, simultaneously enchanted and repelled by the inexhaustible variety of life.

I dreamt of turrets and craggy ledges where the windswept rain blew in from the ocean with the odor of violets. A pale woman in Elizabethan dress stood beside my bed and whispered in my ear that the bells would ring. An old salt in an oilcloth jacket sat atop a piling, mending nets with an awl, while far out at sea a tiny aeroplane winged its way towards the setting sun.
