Hiking the PCT was the maddening effort of knitting that sweater and unraveling it over and over again. As if everything gained was inevitably lost.”
― Cheryl Strayed, Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail

“We're all islands shouting lies to each other across seas of misunderstanding.”
