“There are days when I feel so lightly connected to the earth that the threads that tether me to the planet are gossamer thin, spun sugar. A strong gust of wind could dislodge me completely, and I’d lift off and blow away, like one of those seeds in a dandelion clock. The threads tighten slightly from Monday to Friday.”
― Gail Honeyman, Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine

“Thank goodness!” said Bilbo laughing, and handed him the tobacco-jar.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit, or There and Back Again
