- When your past calls, don’t answer. It has nothing new to say. — Unknown
- She tastes like nectar and salt. Nectar and salt and apples. Pollen and stars and hinges. She tastes like fairy tales. Swan maiden at midnight. Cream on the tip of a fox’s tongue. She tastes like hope. – Laini Taylor, Daughter of Smoke and Bone
- Let the world burn through you. Throw the prism light, white hot, on paper. — Ray Bradbury
- Go all the way with it. Do not back off. For once, go all the goddamn way with what matters. — Ernest Hemingway
- Do not resist events that move you out of your comfort zone, especially when your comfort zone was not all that comfortable. — Alan Cohen
- Travel is little beds and cramped bathrooms. It’s old television sets and slow Internet connections. Travel is extraordinary conversations with ordinary people. It’s waiters, gas station attendants, and housekeepers becoming the most interesting people in the world. It’s churches that are compelling enough to enter. It’s McDonald’s being a luxury. It’s the realization that you may have been born in the wrong country. Travel is a smile that leads to a conversation in broken English. It’s the epiphany that pretty girls smile the same way all over the world. Travel is tipping 10% and being embraced for it. Travel is the same white T-shirt again tomorrow. Travel is accented sex after good wine and too many unfiltered cigarettes. Travel is flowing in the back of a bus with giggly strangers. It’s a street full of bearded backpackers looking down at maps. Travel is wishing for one more bite of whatever that just was. It’s the rediscovery of walking somewhere. It’s sharing a bottle of liquor on an overnight train with a new friend. Travel is ‘Maybe I don’t have to do it that way when I get back home.” — Nick Miller, Isn’t It Pretty to Think So?
- I should have been more kind. That is something a person will never regret. You will never say to yourself when you are old, ‘Ah, I wish I was not good to that person.’ You will never think that. — Khaled Hosseini
- I often think that the night is more alive and more richly colored than the day. — Vincent Van Gogh
