Last words for the road Quotes

“To those that see life as a luxury,
Death is a punishment.
To those that see life as a story,
Death is just another absurdity.
To those that see death as a wound,
Living life is what we do to heal it.”
― lauren klarfeld, Last words for the road

“There’s no such thing as good without evil,
No such thing as justice, without oppression,
No such thing as gutted laughter without tears.
No such thing as receiving without taking,
No such thing as hope without disappointment,
No such thing as ugliness without sublime,
No such thing as peace without doubt.
No such thing as life without death.”
― lauren klarfeld, Last words for the road

― lauren klarfeld, Last words for the road

“Finding home was hard, because it was never about a place but about a feeling. A feeling of unexplainable warmth, where I knew I could come to live, but also to die. Shaped by the people that lived in it, and a home cooked meal that tasted like spices and nostalgia.”

“We were the lost children of our parents,
Those that ran away,
Those that sought homes away from home,
Looking for ourselves; some finding their ways. Others forever lost.
We could be defined by name, origin and favorite playlists.
And we wondered about our future as much as we wondered about what we would have for dinner.
We were ambitiously bored.
We sought out meaning to our lives, holding on to one another like a family of geographical orphans.
Looking for new fertile ground to plant our roots,
Because we wanted to go where we were celebrated. Not just tolerated.”
― lauren klarfeld, Last words for the road

“To travel is not to escape,
Because to escape, one doesn't need to travel far in footsteps,
but only further in hope.”

“I can escape from a place,
But I cannot run away from what it will do to me.
It changes me, and if I’m lucky, forever.
So I escape to find new places of me,
And live for what wasn’t written for me.”
― lauren klarfeld, Last words for the road

“What I am escaping from, is what I am escaping to.
So I leave to lose myself,
And I leave to love myself,
Only to come back better than how I left myself.”
― lauren klarfeld, Last words for the road
