Hugo Smienk
“Live every day as if it's your last, and while you're at it; remember life is too short to drink bad red wine.”
Hugo Smienk, The Broken Traveler: A Memoir of Heartbreak, Healing and Adventure

Charles Dickens
“Goswell Street was at his feet, Goswell Street was on his right hand — as far as the eye could reach, Goswell Street extended on his left; and the opposite side of Goswell Street was over the way. ‘Such,’ thought Mr. Pickwick, ‘are the narrow views of those philosophers who, content with examining the things that lie before them, look not to the truths which are hidden beyond. As well might I be content to gaze on Goswell Street for ever, without one effort to penetrate to the hidden countries which on every side surround it.”
Charles Dickens, The Pickwick Papers
