“And although Margarita lived in a world that predated Technicolor, she always dreamed of the boy in rich pastels.”
― Salvador Plascencia, The People of Paper

“We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.”
― T. S. Eliot, Four Quartets

“I was happy, but happy is an adult word. You don't have to ask a child about happy, you see it. They are or they are not. Adults talk about being happy because largely they are not. Talking about it is the same as trying to catch the wind. Much easier to let it blow all over you. This is where I disagree with the philosophers. They talk about passionate things but there is no passion in them. Never talk happiness with a philosopher.”
― Jeanette Winterson, The Passion

“I have no reason to go, except that I have never been, and knowledge is better than ignorance. What better reason could there be for travelling?”
― Freya Stark, A Winter in Arabia
