Akkshay Lawrence

“When you develop an infatuation for someone you always find a reason to believe that this is exactly the person for you. It doesn’t need to be a good reason. Taking photographs of the night sky, for example. Now, in the long run, that’s just the kind of dumb, irritating habit that would cause you to split up. But in the haze of infatuation, it’s just what you’ve been searching for all these years.”
― Alex Garland, The Beach

“If you're lonely when you're alone, you're in bad company.”
― Jean-Paul Sartre

“Tourists went on holidays while travellers did something else. They travelled.”
