Ships that pass in the night, and speak each other in passing,
Only a signal shown and a distant voice in the darkness;
So on the ocean of life we pass and speak one another,
Only a look and a voice, then darkness again and a silence.
That’s the thing about books. They let you travel without moving your feet.
— Jhumpa Lahiri, The Namesake (via larmoyante)
Never be so focused on what you’re looking for that you overlook the thing you actually find.
— Ann Patchett (via quotefullness)
