“If it hadn't been what it was, it would've been beautiful.”

“Adults follow paths. Children explore. Adults are content to walk the same way, hundreds of times, or thousands; perhaps it never occurs to adults to step off the paths, to creep beneath rhododendrons, to find the spaces between fences.

― Neil Gaiman, The Ocean at the End of the Lane
