“When you reach the little house, the place your journey started,
you will recognize it, although it will seem
much smaller than you remember.
Walk up the path, and through the garden gate

And then go home.
Or make a home.
And rest.”

“Actors are so fortunate. They can choose whether they will appear in tragedy or in comedy, whether they will suffer or make merry, laugh or shed tears. But in real life it is different. Most men and women are forced to perform parts for which they have no qualifications. Our Guildensterns play Hamlet for us, and our Hamlets have to jest like Prince Hal. The world is a stage, but the play is badly cast.”

― Swann’s Way
