Emily’s Notes & Highlights

Book cover for Empty Hotel Rooms Meant for Us

Empty Hotel Rooms Meant for Us by Christina Hart

5 highlights

I will take these parts of you and push this fucking cart around town until you try to come take them back. But you won’t – you always loved being lost.

See Emily’s 6 books with notes and highlights…

“We travel, initially, to lose ourselves; and we travel, next to find ourselves. We travel to open our hearts and eyes and learn more about the world than our newspapers will accommodate. We travel to bring what little we can, in our ignorance and knowledge, to those parts of the globe whose riches are differently dispersed. And we travel, in essence, to become young fools again- to slow time down and get taken in, and fall in love once more.”
― Pico Iyer
