There won't be any reason to return then.

All you can do is look ahead and not to stumble and fall on the pit ahead waiting for you.”

“I did a research assignment on life in the Middle Ages only last year. I found the era fascinating, all that chivalry and court romance. But I never pictured anything as poor as this village. This is the pits. There's no romance here, definitely no chivary. And it stinks--of sweat and smoke and sewage.”

Patricia Highsmith
“Each person carries around in himself a terrible other world of hell and the unknown. It is an enormous pit reaching below the deepest crater of the earth, or it is the thinnest air far beyond the moon. But it is frightening and essentially “unlike” man as he knows himself familiarly, so we spend all our days living at the other antipodes of ourself.”

Sanhita Baruah
“Yesterday, she shed tears, keeping her head on my shoulders. And I think she's not going to be fine because I know she won't. Because a couple of years back, I wasn't.
And when you know that you've fallen hard on a cold ground and are still lying there, what do you tell others who are taking the fall?
You close your eyes. You accept to lie there a little longer.

But I lie on my bed now, and it's a little too warm today.”
