“The whole idea of systematically choosing to extend your hospitality to total
strangers is just revolutionary. It breaks the boundaries and limitations set by our culture

warnings I have heard is endless. Luckily, I chose to do just the opposite.”

“Why be so bloody miserable when you can pick up a good book or watch a great television drama?”
― Michael Dobbs

“You are heartless. Everyone is heartless. The past was all I had.’
‘It was all you chose to have. It was the wrong way to deal with a sorrow. It was Egyptian—like embalming a dead body.”
― C.S. Lewis, The Great Divorce
