Be sand, not oil in the machinery of the world.
“There will come a day when I shall voyage all around the Earth, when I shall know the names and faces of men and women and children, when I shall know the turns in many roads, and I shall have friends beyond number — and I shall still be lonely as I am now, and I shall still desire then to know more faces and names and cities. I am the forever-seeking.”
Patricia Highsmith
