More From Zadie Smith

There are going to be times when we can't wait for somebody. now, you're either on the bus or off the bus. if you're on the bus, and you get left behind, then you'll find it again. if you're off the bus in the first place — then it won't make a damn.
Waiting Firsts Pranksters
Crabbed age and youth cannot live together; youth is full of pleasure, age is full of care; youth like summer morn, age like winter weather; youth like summer brave, age like winter bare. youth is full sport, age's breath is short; youth is nimble, age is lame; youth is hot and bold, age is weak and cold; youth is wild, age is tame. age, i do abhor thee; youth, i do adore thee.

This is gonna sound stupid, but i saw at one point that our mothers are ... bus drivers. no, they are the bus. see, they're the vehicle that gets us here. they drop us off and go on their way. they continue on their journey. and the problem is that we keep tryin' to get back on the bus, instead of just lettin' it go.

When i ran for mayor of new york city, the first time, some people voted eight and ten times. and second time i had firefighters and police officers outside checking on the buses so we take down the number of the bus, the bus had voted ten times, and wouldn't let the bus vote again.
