A dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world.
– Oscar Wilde, 1888
These quotes are from Erin Morgenstern’s The Night Circus, which I’ve just finished reading. I like the drama in them… So fatalistic…
He will always choose the circus
…And I will always choose travel.
If you’re interested, I’ve posted a summary of my favorite books here.
Enjoy your week!

This is one of my favorite quotes of Oscar Wilde ~ I used it a while ago with a discussion of “dusk to dawn” and a similar great feel as you have used it here. Wonderful!
