I have seen so many lands vanish in my wake, torn down like stage sets. What survives of them? An image as fleeting as a dream: whatever beauties I discovered, I already knew by heart.

About This Quote

The world is a stage. It is a place where people from different cultures and places come together to live out their lives. The stage is constructed of beauty and fun, but the only lasting beauty is the beauty the participants make for themselves. The world is a stage, but its greatest beauty lies in the fact that it can be an incredible stage for anyone to perform on at any time.
