No man leaves where he is and seeks a distant place unless he is in some respect a failure. James A. Michener
And if, in some distant place in the future, we see each other in our new lives, I will smile at you with joy, and remember how we spent a summer beneath the trees, learning from each other and growing in love. Nicholas Sparks
I am still there, at that distant place in time, I never left it, but live expanded in the past, or out of it. Pascal Mercier
