• Tonight, the moon came out, it was nearly full.
  Way down here on earth, I could feel it's pull.
  The weight of gravity or just the lure of life,
  Made me want to leave my only home tonight.
  
  I'm just wondering how we know where we belong
  Is it in the arc of the moon, leaving shadows on the lawn
  In the path of fireflies and a single bird at dawn
  Singing in between here and gone

  Mary Chapin Carpenter

• A route differs from a road not only because it is solely intended for vehicles, but also because it is merely a line that connects one point with another. A route has no meaning in itself; its meaning derives entirely from the two points that it connects. A road is a tribute to space. Every stretch of road has meaning in itself and invites us to stop. A route is the triumphant devaluation of space, which thanks to it has been reduced to a mere obstacle to human movement and a waste of time.

  Milan Kundera
