Sorry for the cartography reposts--I wish we had maps for everything so the routes in life always lay beneath our fingertips. My favorite quotes are caught at the intersection of ephemerality and nostalgia: "this too shall pass" and "he saw nothing – unless he were wizard enough to detect a poignant wish, a powerful longing that the cable car would never stop anywhere, but go on and on with her forever." Never let me off
