“Traveling is like flirting with life. It's like saying, 'I would stay and love you, but I have to go; this is my station.”

“MUSIC I heard with you was more than music, And bread I broke with you was more than bread. Now that I am without you, all is desolate, All that was once so beautiful is dead.
