"There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure
'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings
In a tree by the brook, there's a songbird who sings
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven
Ooh, it makes me wonder
Ooh, it makes me wonder"

“To hear never-heard sounds, 
To see never-seen colors and shapes, 
To try to understand the imperceptible,
To hear another soul and to whisper to another soul; 
To be a lantern in the darkness,
To be an insignificant pedestrian on the streets
Of crazy cities watching, watching, and watching.

"The thing that goes the farthest 
towards making life worth while,
That costs the least, and does the most, 
is just a pleasant smile."

“Oh land of farms and green hills mild
Once formed by giants rough and wild
With massive paws they gripped and tore
With one great rip they formed the shore

Where heavy boots left prints so deep
Blue lakes remain 'tween summits steep
The giants fought beneath our skies
And from their bones our mountains rise”
~Shannon Hale

“Cities were always like people, showing their varying personalities to the traveller. Depending on the city and on the traveller, there might begin a mutual love, or dislike, friendship, or enmity. Where one city will rise a certain individual to glory, it will destroy another who is not suited to its personality. 

Only through travel can we know where we belong or not, where we are loved and where we are rejected.”

"Sublime wonders lie in store,
I am shown a regal residence;
a mighty kingdom, an empire
with more grandeur than before."

"One realized all sorts of things. The value of an illusion, for instance, and that the shadow can be more important than the substance. All sorts of things.”
