“My house says to me, ‘Do not leave me, for here dwells your past.’
And the road says to me, ‘Come and follow me, for I am your future.’
And I say to both my house and the road,
‘I have no past, nor have I a future.
If I stay here, there is a going in my staying;
and if I go there is a staying in my going.
Only love and death change all things.’”
- K. Gibran
