“Adults follow paths. Children explore. Adults are content to walk the same way, hundreds of times, or thousands; perhaps it never occurs to adults to step off the paths, to creep beneath rhododendrons, to find the spaces between fences. I was a child, which meant that I knew a dozen different ways of getting out of our property and into the lane, ways that would not involve walking down our drive.”
― Neil Gaiman, The Ocean at the End of the Lane

“... and all the hurts and scars / Of everyday were healed, and I would sleep / Safe with the good-night memory of stars.”
― Jane Merchant, Halfway Up the Sky: Poems
