“And I wondered, with mounting anxiety, What am I supposed to do here? What am I supposed to think?”
― Alain de Botton, The Art of Travel

“A precious, mouldering pleasure ’tis
To meet an antique book,
In just the dress his century wore;
A privilege, I think,

His venerable hand to take,
And warming in our own,
A passage back, or two, to make
To times when he was young.

His quaint opinions to inspect,
His knowledge to unfold
On what concerns our mutual mind,
The literature of old”
― Emily Dickinson, The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson

“Our lives are not the measure of all things: consider sublime places for a reminder of human insignificance and frailty.”
― Alain de Botton, The Art of Travel
