Tennessee Williams
“When I was sixteen, I made the discovery -- love. All at once and much, much too completely. It was like you suddenly turned a blinding light on something that had always been half in shadow, that's how it struck the world for me.”
Tennessee Williams, A Streetcar Named Desire

Pico Iyer
“A person susceptible to "wanderlust" is not so much addicted to movement as committed to transformation.”
Pico Iyer

V.S. Naipaul
“Non-fiction can distort; facts can be realigned. But fiction never lies.”
V.S. Naipaul, A Bend in the River

Pico Iyer
“We travel, initially, to lose ourselves; and we travel, next to find ourselves. We travel to open our hearts and eyes and learn more about the world than our newspapers will accommodate.

And we travel, in essence, to become young fools again- to slow time down and get taken in, and fall in love once more.”
Pico Iyer

Pico Iyer
“Writing is, in the end, that oddest of anomalies: an intimate letter to a stranger.”
Pico Iyer
