“Some birds are not meant to be caged, that's all. Their feathers are too bright, their songs too sweet and wild. So you let them go, or when you open the cage to feed them they somehow fly out past you.

― Stephen King, Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption

“A journey is a person in itself; no two are alike.
An all plans, safeguards, policies and coercion are fruitless.

― John Steinbeck

“It is easy in the world to live after the world's opinion; it is easy in solitude to live after our own; but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude.”
― Ralph Waldo Emerson, The Complete Prose Works Of Ralph Waldo Emerson
