The Second Journey Quotes

“Traveling is not just seeing the new; it is also leaving behind. Not just opening doors; also closing them, never to return. But the place you have left forever is always there for you to see, whenever you shut your eyes.”

“Someone asked Robert Frost toward the end of his life if he had hope for the future; I was so taken by his answer that I memorized it: “Yes,” he replied, “and even for the past . . . that it will turn out to have been all right for what it was—something I can accept—mistakes made by the self I had to be or was not able to be.”
