“The best way of travel, however, if you aren’t in any hurry at all, if you don’t care where you are going, if you don’t like to use your legs, if you don’t want to be annoyed at all by any choice of directions, is in a balloon. In a balloon, you can decide only when to start, and usually when to stop. The rest is left entirely to nature.”
William Pene du Bois, The Twenty-One Balloons
“If a woman holds on to this gift of being old while she is young and young while she is old, she will always know what comes next.”
Clarissa Pinkola Estés, PhD.
“Long ago in days of yore
It all began with a god named Thor
There were Vikings and boats
And some plans for a furniture store.”
Jonathon Colton, “Ikea”
