Summary

This quote by Samuel Johnson emphasizes the value of travel in grounding imagination in reality. It suggests that through traveling, one can gain a firsthand experience and perspective of different places, cultures, and people, rather than relying on speculation or assumptions.

Death is nature's way of making things continually interesting. Death is the possibility of change. Every individual gets its allotted lifespan, its chance to try something new on the world. But time is called and the molecules which make up leaf and limb, heart and eye are disassembled and redistributed to other tenants.

She had just realized there were two things that prevent us

She had just realized there were two things that prevent us from achieving our dreams: believing them to be impossible or seeing those dreams made possible by some sudden turn of the wheel of fortune, when you least expected it. For at that moment, all our fears suddenly surface: the fear of setting off along a road heading who knows where, the fear of a life full of new challenges, the fear of losing forever everything that is familiar.
