We all want to believe in impossible things, I suppose, to persuade ourselves that miracles can happen.
Paul AusterEach time he took a walk, he felt as though he were leaving himself behind, and by giving himself up to the movement of the streets, by reducing himself to a seeing eye, he was able to escape the obligation to think, and this, more than anything else, brought him a measure of peace, a salutary emptiness within...By wandering aimlessly, all places became equal and it no longer mattered where he was. On his best walks he was able to feel that he was nowhere. And this, finally was all he ever asked of things: to be nowhere.
Paul AusterWhat matters is not how well you can avoid trouble, but how you cope with trouble when it comes.
