dear benjamin,

thank you for these quotes! another bunch of bangers!

love these in particular:

“If you board the wrong train, it is no use running along the corridor in the other direction.”

— Dietrich Bonhoeffer

“A critic is a gong at a railroad crossing clanging loudly and vainly as the train goes by.”

— Christopher Morley

“The only way of catching a train I have ever discovered is to miss the train before.”

— G.K. Chesterton

“The most common of all antagonisms arises from a man’s taking a seat beside you on the train, a seat to which he is completely entitled.”

— Robert Benchley

thanks and love,

myq

Totally agree! But also depends on your definition of long-distance. And of course, the Chesterton line about whether you view any experience as an inconvenience or an adventure…
