“The particulars of new places grabbed me and held me, the sweep of new coasts, cold, lovely, dawns. The world was incomprehensibly large, and there was still so much to see. Yes, I got sick sometimes of being an expatriate, always ignorant, on the outside of things, but I didn't feel ready for domestic life, for seeing the same people, the same places, thinking more or less the same thoughts, each day. I liked surrendering to the onrush, the uncertainty, the serendipity of the road.”
― William Finnegan, Barbarian Days: A Surfing Life

“I felt the weight of unmapped worlds, unborn language.”

“You’re never going to find a guy who’s exactly like you—first of all, because that guy never leaves his dorm room.”

“But you're so helpless sometimes. It's like watching a kitten with its head trapped in a Kleenex box.”
― Rainbow Rowell, Fangirl
