“There were some people who were just on your circuit, people who lived around the corner, or across the borough, but for whatever reason, you and them were on the same track, and would bump into each other again, and again. Then there were people who lived next door and were on a different schedule, and you never saw them at all. Different paths, different subway lines, different time tables.”
“I realize that people are just people, and they carry their own set of fears, dreams, desires, pains and mistakes. I can’t expect someone else to make me feel complete, I must find it on my own.”
“The People of the Stars believe that in the coming months, if they see a shooting star it’s their wish on its way back to them.”
“A great many things look different from a distance. Trust is like ugliness: you need to be close to see it”
“What is infinite? The universe and the greed of men”
“It isn’t a sadness, but a joy, that we don’t do the same thing for the length of our lives.”
