Mo Willems
“If you ever find yourself in the wrong story, leave.”
Mo Willems, Goldilocks and the Three Dinosaurs

Ivan Goncharov
“Мне хотелось путешествовать неофициально, не приехать и "осматривать", а жить и смотреть на всё, не насилуя наблюдательности; не задавая себе утомительных уроков осматривать ежедневно, с гидом в руках, по стольку-то улиц, музеев, зданий, церквей. От такого путешествия остаётся в голове хаос улиц, памятников, да и то ненадолго. Вообще, большая ошибка - стараться собирать впечатления; соберёшь чего не надо, а что надо, то ускользнёт.
Если путешествуешь не для специальной цели, нужно, чтобы впечатления нежданно и незванно сами собирались в душу; а к кому они так не ходят, тот лучше не путшествуй.”
Иван Гончаров, The frigate Pallada

Leo Tolstoy
“I wanted movement and not a calm course of existence. I wanted excitement and the chance to sacrifice myself for my love. I felt it in myself a superabundance of energy which found no outlet in our quiet life.”
Leo Tolstoy, Семейное счастие

Thomas Mann
“Space, like time, engenders forgetfulness; but it does so by setting us bodily free from our surroundings and giving us back our primitive, unattached state ... Time, we say, is Lethe; but change of air is a similar draught, and, if it works less thoroughly, does so more quickly.”
Thomas Mann, The Magic Mountain

Haruki Murakami
“One heart is not connected to another through harmony alone. They are, instead, linked deeply through their wounds. Pain linked to pain, fragility to fragility. There is no silence without a cry of grief, no forgiveness without bloodshed, no acceptance without a passage through acute loss. That is what lies at the root of true harmony.”
Haruki Murakami, Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage
