He becomes more accessible to people, because they can come to his aid in difficult times. And he perceives the fleeting mercy of the gods with jubilation and will remember it until the end of his days. And at the same time, since everything is new to him, he notices only beauty and is happy simply because he lives." Paulo Coelho

...and finally - quotes from a wonderful film "Knockin 'on Heaven":
“- You stand on the shore and feel the salty smell of the wind that blows from the sea... And you believe that you are free, and life has just begun. And a kiss soaked in tears burns her friend’s lips...”
“- I didn’t know that there’s nowhere in heaven without this? Understand that in heaven they only talk about the sea. How infinitely beautiful it is... About the sunset that they saw... About how the sun, plunging into the waves, became scarlet, like blood. And they felt that the sea had absorbed the energy of the light into itself, and the sun was tamed, and the fire was already burning out in the depths... And you? What will you tell them? After all, you have never been to the sea. Up there they will call you a sucker.”
“Have you ever seen it? So hurry up. You don't have much time. In the sky there is only talk about the sea and the sunset. They talk about how damn cool it is to watch a huge ball of fire, how it melts in the waves, and a barely visible light, as if from a candle, burns somewhere in the depths...”

For a person who has never traveled, any new place that is somewhat different from his native land looks very tempting. Apart from love, travel brings us the most joy and consolation. For some reason, everything new seems very important to us, and the mind, which in essence only reflects the perceptions of our senses, gives in to the influx of impressions. On the way, you can forget your beloved, dispel grief, and drive away the ghost of death. In the simple expression “I’m leaving” lies a whole world of unresolved feelings.Theodore Dreiser
