Antoine de Saint-Exupery Quotes

For instance, if you come at four in the afternoon, I'll begin to be happy by three. The closer it gets to four, the happier I'll feel. By four I'll be excited and worried; I'll discover what it costs to be happy! But if you come at any od time, I'll never know when I should prepare my heart... There must be rites.

There is a comfort in rituals, and rituals provide a framework for stability when you are trying to find answers.

When people are used to you doing something, they want you to stay in that lane.

You have to be as fully prepared for the dull game as you are for the great game, or else you won't be prepared for the great one.

In the dressing room, I always put on my right shoe first. Same thing for my right wristband.

I have little routines in the theater. Once I've established something, like the order of putting on makeup and a costume, I have to invariably do it in the same order every time, even if I only did it by chance the first time round.

I'm always preparing for a regular life.

Prior to 2015, I had kind of approached every year like, 'Let's hope for the best.' I always made these year-end videos with 100 things I did, and it would kind of build itself up throughout the year. When this year started, it was like I knew the 100 things before I even got to do them.

I don't have many superstitions, but I do have a few things I like to do out of routine and habit before a game.

I have the same routine every game day, when it comes to waking up and what I do at the hotel and stuff, but nothing crazy.

I had always had the same pre-match routine that I went through every day - get up, go down for a swim and a stretch, back to the room for a shower, then down for brekkie - the same routine every game, and it got me ready.

I'm creature of habit.

It's jam every other day: to-day isn't any other day, you know.

I'm starting to realize I can't practice a certain way during the week and expect to play another way on Sunday.

The happiness at getting what you want is not usually commensurate with the worry leading up to it.

How would I ever know when that moment was right, when expectation met anticipation and formed...connection?

My hour for tea is half-past five, and my buttered toast waits for nobody.

Knowing what to expect next gives children a sense of security.

But if you come at just any time, I shall never know at what hour my heart is to be ready to greet you.
