“The biggest mistake we make is that we build our homes in other people. We build those homes and we decorate them with the love and care and respect that makes us feel safe at the end of the day. We invest in other people, and we evaluate our self-worth based on how much those homes welcome us. But what many don’t realize is that when you build your home in other people, you give them the power to make you homeless. When those people walk away, those homes walk away with them, and all of a sudden, we feel empty because everything that we had within us, we put into them. We trusted someone else with pieces of us. The emptiness we feel doesn’t mean we have nothing to give, or that we have nothing within us. It’s just that we built our home in the wrong place.”

“Quand on a perdu un être cher, on peut fermer son cœur, ou bien utiliser ce silex de la peine qui le déchire pour l'ouvrir davantage encore. On aime encore plus intensément, et plus profondément, lorsque la douleur a creusé et agrandi notre cœur.”

“When the body perishes
all perishes
but the threads of memory
are woven of enduring atoms
I will pick these particles
weave the threads
and I will meet you yet again.”
― ਮੈਂ ਤੇਨੁ ਫੇਰ ਮਿਲੰਗੀ
all perishes
but the threads of memory
are woven of enduring atoms
I will pick these particles
weave the threads
and I will meet you yet again.”

“Travel changes you. As you move through this life and this world you change things slightly, you leave marks behind, however small. And in return, life—and travel—leaves marks on you.”

“À ce moment-là, je crois, j’ai pris conscience qu’aucune existence, si heureuse ou brillante fût-elle, ne me suffirait jamais. Il vient toujours un moment où le rêveur, qui d’ordinaire se croit heureux parce que ses songes l’emportent sans cesse ailleurs, prend conscience de son malheur.”
