The first commandment for every good explorer is that an expedition has two points: the point of departure and the point of arrival. If your intention is to make the second theoretical point coincide with the actual point of arrival, don't think about the means -- because the journey is a virtual space that finishes when it finishes, and there are as many means as there are different ways of 'finishing.'

I mean you're given all these lessons for the unimportant things--piano-playing, typing. You're given years and years of lessons in how to balance equations, which Lord knows you will never have to do in normal life. But how about parenthood? Or marriage, either, come to think of it. Before you can drive a car you need a state-approved course of instruction, but driving a car is nothing, nothing, compared to living day in and day out with a husband and raising up a new human being.

For the first time satisfaction, animation and even cheerfulness rang in his voice. ‘Sickening, isn’t it? Dorothy Dunnett
O Life, How oft we throw it off and think,? 'Enough, Enough of life in so much!? here's a cause. For rupture;? herein we must break with Life, Or be ourselves unworthy; here we are wronged, Maimed, spoiled for aspiration: farewell Life!' Elizabeth Barrett Browning
I don't think I've ever drunk champagne before breakfast before. With breakfast on several occasions, but never before before. Truman Capote
You are my sympathy - my better self - my good angel; I am bound to you by a strong attachment. I think you good, gifted, lovely; a fervant, a solemn passion is conceived in my heart; it leans to you, draws you to my center and spring of life, wraps my existence about you - and, kindling in pure, powerful flame, fuses you and me in one. Charlotte Bronte

No matter what you look like, there's somebody who's gonna think you're the handsomest man in the world. Fannie Flagg

Our prisons are full of people who think they're Napoleon..or God. Ian Fleming
To people who think of themselves as God's houseguests, American enterprise must seem arrogant beyond belief. Or stupid. A nation of amnesiacs, proceeding as if there were no other day but today. Assuming the land could also forget what had been done to it. Barbara Kingsolver
All of you, all who are present--consider me worthy of pity, do younot? Good God! When I think of what I was on the point of doing, Iconsider that I am to be envied. Victor Hugo

Vladimir Nabokov
A volunteer is a person who can see what others cannot see; who can feel what most do not feel. Often, such gifted persons do not think of themselves as volunteers, but as citizens - citizens in the fullest sense: partners in civilization. George H. W. Bush
All I can think of is the emaciated bodies of children on our kitchen table as my mother prescribes what the parent's can't give. More food. Suzanne Collins
