Regarding deadlines, I absolutely adore this quote by Douglas Adams:

> I love deadlines. I love the whooshing noise they make as they go by.

It's basically the same as yours, but instead of telling you not to care, Adams basically demonstrates the peace of mind he seems to have achieved by not caring himself. Plus, he apparently had a reputation for not delivering his manuscripts on time, so it seems to be genuine :)
