Just for a few months of one's life, is it so awful to travel through time with no greater ambition than to find the next lovely meal?

Or to nap in a garden, in a patch of sunlight, in the middle of the day, right next to your favourite fountain? And then to do it again the next day?"

I’ve seen that happen to a lot of people here. I think that’s why I’m sick of love."
