“Wanderer, your footsteps are the road, and nothing more; wanderer, there is no road, the road is made by walking. By walking one makes the road, and upon glancing behind one sees the path that never will be trod again. Wanderer, there is no road-- Only wakes upon the sea. Caminante, son tus huellas el camino, y nada más; caminante, no hay camino, se hace camino al andar. Al andar se hace camino, y al volver la vista atrás se ve la senda que nunca se ha de volver a pisar. Caminante, no hay camino, sino estelas en la mar.”

But pretty as she is, she is a stranger to me. She's not the one I... care about. Wanderer: It's this body. Ian: That's not true at all. It's not the face, but the expressions on it. It's not the voice, but what they say. It's not how you look like in that body, it's what you do with it. You are beautiful.”

“Wanderers they are, across the
unpredictable wrath of day and night.
Bearers of battle’s anguish, they see
more of the world than we, in these confines.
Unknown to us, are the reasons for such fight,
that strip the souls of man with live fire.
Sitting ducks are we, to war’s wrath.”

“Wandering around back stage at a willie Nelson concert is a bit like being the parrot on the shoulder of the guy who's running the Ferris wheel. It's not the best seat in the house, but you see enough lights, action, people, and confusion to make you wonder if anybody knows what the hell's going on. If you're sitting out front, of course, it all rolls along as smoothly as a German train schedule, but as Willie, like any great magician, would be the first to point out, the real show is never in the center ring. As Willie always says, Fortunately, we're not in control.”

“Wandering, meandering, and leaving the familiar are quintessential impulses of longing. Similar to a seed nesting in the darkness that emerges into the light, longing is a growth gesture essential for connection, transformation, and innovation. It is also a voice from deep within that cannot be ignored even when we think what we long for is forever lost.”

“Wandering the earth awake, I refuse to be claimed by any one disposition. Rather than walking on either side of a flowing spring, I prefer to walk down the middle with playful waves nipping at my ankles and murky depths below. It is only when in this between, that I feel most like myself. Never one to find any particular identity that fits, I prefer to look to the stars even when my feet are firmly planted on the ground. The unrest that accompanies me is never far behind and the disappointment in my flawed humanness is sometimes too much to bear.”
“Wandering through the mind of an author is like stepping into a treasury. Characters, worlds, plot twists, and adventures dwell in secret, until they're unlocked.”
“Wandering"
What’s the point of wandering?
to find a better place?
a home?
The loneliness will always capture me
in its claws
of no tomorrow”

“Wanderlust is not a passion for travel exactly, it’s something more animal and more fickle- more like lust. We don’t lust after very many things in life. We don’t need words like ‘worklust’ or ‘homemakinglust.’ But travel? The essayist Anatole Broyard put it perfectly: ‘Travel is like adultery: one is always tempted to be unfaithful to one’s own country. To have imagination is inevitably to be dissatisfied with where you live… in our wanderlust, we are lovers looking for consummation.’”
“Wanderlust is not unheard of in our kind; it comes upon us now and then. When you can live forever, staying in one place can come to seem a dull prison after many, many years.”

“Wanfried, 31 March 1945
There certainly don't seem to be any food shortages in town. All day long, we see women parading beneath our windows bearing aloft enormous tarts to cook in the baker's oven. Easter cakes, no doubt. We wonder whether we might be given a little extra to eat tomorrow, as our hunger is intolerable.”

“Wang Lung sat smoking, thinking of the silver as it had lain upon the table. It had come out of the earth, this silver, out of the earth that he ploughed and turned and spent himself upon. He took his life from the earth; drop by drop by his sweat he wrung food from it and from the food, silver. Each time before this that he had taken the silver out to give to anyone, it had been like taking a piece of his life and giving it to someone carelessly. But not for the first time, such giving was not pain. He saw, not the silver in the alien hand of a merchant in the town; he saw the silver transmuted into something worth even more than life itself - clothes upon the body of his son.”

“Wanita Tua Menukil Kata
hingga dinding erti ditabraki
hingga itulah rasa-rasa empati
menari-nari di permukaan nurani
hingga suatu saat aku mendewasa nanti
hingga itulah aku bakal berhenti menyoal diri
Usah dipanggil aku wanita tua yang hanya menukil kata cuma
aku jua ingin berjasa pada dunia
hentilah menabraki dinding mimpi
yang tidak kau punyai

“Wann ich in dieser Nacht eingeschlafen war, konnte ich nicht sagen, doch wer meine Träume beherrschen würde, war von vornherein klar gewesen. Eli war der Protagonist jedes einzelnen Traumes, den ich diese Nacht hatte. Eli in all seinen Facetten und Farben. In meinen Träumen tat er nicht nur das, was sich mein vernebeltes Gehirn bei Tag ausmalte, er beantwortete mir auch die Frage, die ich mir noch zuvor gestellt hatte.
War ich verliebt in ihn?
Hoffnungslos, würde ich sagen.”

“Wanna dance?" she asked. "I think they're playing our song."
"Oh yeah? What's that?"
"The hokey-pokey."
"No shit."
"Sure," she said, "don't you hear it?"
She left her bikini top on, but she removed the bottom and then wrestled off my trunks. She held our suits in one hand and with the other grabbed hold of the horn of plenty.
"Salve work?" she asked.
"Miracle drug," I said
"And how to you do the hokey-pokey?" she asked. "I forget."
"You put your right foot in."
"Right."
"You put your right foot out."
"Good."
"You put your right foot in and you shake it all about."
"Great. What's next?" she asked and kissed me sweetly. "After the foot?”
