There’s something about sitting alone in the dark that reminds you how big the world really is, and how far apart we all are. The stars look like they’re so close, you could reach out and touch them. But you can’t. Sometimes things look a lot closer than they are. Kami Garcia
About This Quote

The stars look like they're so close, you could reach out and touch them. But you can't. Sometimes things look a lot closer than they are. The world is such a big place that we can't understand it all at once.

You might think that the people in your life are close to you, but they're actually really far away. How much more important is it to realize that the world is a lot bigger than we think?
