“Travel changes you. As you move through this life and this world you change things slightly, you leave marks behind, however small. And in return, life - and travel - leaves marks on you. Most of the time, those marks - on your body or on your heart - are beautiful. Often, though, they hurt.”

— Anthony Bourdain, The Nasty Bits (via wordsnquotes)

“Many people would sooner die than think; In fact, they do so.”

I built my house beside the wood So I could hear you singing And it was sweet and it was good And love was all beginning Fare thee well my nightingale ‘Twas long ago I found you Now all your songs of beauty fail The forest closes 'round you The sun goes down behind a veil 'Tis now that you would call me So rest in peace my nightingale Beneath your branch of holly Fare thee well my nightingale I lived but to be near you Tho’ you are singing somewhere still I can no longer hear you

Leonard Cohen, “Nightingale’

RIP Leonard. I love you. I love you. I love you.
