That reminds me a lot of a certain quote in Michael Ende's Momo.
charming_stranger: Zelgadis from Slayers reading a book and the text "bookworm" (bookworm)

What quote is that? I love that book. =)

Yay, I wasn't expecting anyone else to have read it (or even heard of it)! It's the quote about sweeping the street... Lemme see if I can find the quote in English somewhere (I only have the book in Swedish and German). Alright, here it is:

Sometimes, when you've a very long street ahead of you, you think how terribly long it is and feel sure you'll never get it swept. And then you start to hurry. You work faster and faster and every time you look up there seems to be just as much left to sweep as before, and you try even harder, and you panic, and in the end you're out of breath and have to stop -- and still the street stretches away in front of you. That's not the way to do it.

You must never think of the whole street at once, understand? You must only concentrate on the next step, the next breath, the next stroke of the broom, and the next, and the next. Nothing else.

That way you enjoy your work, which is important, because then you make a good job of it. And that's how it ought to be.

And all at once, before you know it, you find you've swept the whole street clean, bit by bit. what's more, you aren't out of breath. That's important, too...

Count me in as another person who loved that book!

Seriously, remembering the bit about sweeping bit by bit has helped me through though times. c:

That's really awesome! Especially that you, too, was helped/inspired by that sweeping part.
