• I believe in a set of values I cannot live by. I set high goals for myself, I seek perfection, dream of exotic faraway places. But ultimately, what I long for isn't far away at all. It's in my own backyard. Imperfection charms me, familiar things move me... a celebration of what we have, instead of what we long for. That for me, is glamor.

  Isabella Rossellini

• La verdadera tarea de la vida espiritual no se encuentra en lugares lejanos ni en estados insólitos de conciencia. Está aquí, en el presente. Nos pide un espíritu acogedor para recibir todo lo que la vida nos presenta con un corazón sabio, respetuoso y bondadoso. Podemos inclinarnos tanto ante la belleza como ante el sufrimiento, ante nuestros enredos y confusiones, ante nuestros miedos y ante las injusticias del mundo. Honrar la verdad de este modo es el camino hacia la libertad.

  Jack Canfield

• In any case, suffice it to say I enjoyed hearing about faraway places. I had stocked up a whole store of these places, like a bear getting ready for hibernation. I'd close my eyes, and streets would materialize, rows of houses take shape. I could hear people's voices, feel the gentle, steady rhythm of their lives, those people so distant, whom I'd probably never know.

  Haruki Murakami

• I think that's an obligation you have, to give back no matter what happens. It actually ends up being easier when you're young than when you become successful.

• In London it had seemed impossible to travel without the proper evening clothes. One could see an invitation arriving for an Embassy ball or something. But on the other side of Europe with the first faint tinges of faraway places becoming apparent and exciting, to say nothing of vanishing roads and extra weight, Embassy balls held less significance.

• A plane is a bad place for an all-out sleep, but a good place to begin rest and recovery from the trip to the faraway places you've been, a decompression chamber between Here and There. Though a plane is not the ideal place really to think, to reassess or reevaluate things, it is a great place to have the illusion of doing so, and often the illusion will suffice.

• In the sublime days before 11 September 2001, when the powerful were routinely attacking and terrorising the weak, and those dying were black or brown-skinned non-people living in faraway places such as Zaire and Guatemala, there was no terrorism. When the weak attacked the powerful, spectacularly on 9/11, there was terrorism.
