And we travel, in essence, to become young fools again- to slow time down and get taken in, and fall in love once more.”

Pico Iyer
● ” I thought that if I owned nothing, had nothing, was nothing, I would have nothing left to lose, and I wouldn’t be scared anymore. Because my whole life I’ve been so damn scared. Scared to live because I was scared to die. But at the same time I was so scared of living, so I wanted to die. Or maybe so scared of dying that I refused to live. You don’t have to be afraid to fall when you’re already on the ground. You don’t have to be scared to lose someone when there’s no one around to lose.”
