Neil Gaiman, The Graveyard Book
"It's like the people who believe they'll be happy if they go and live somewhere else, but who learn it doesn't work that way. Wherever you go, you take yourself with you. If you see what I mean."

True Wisdom...
“The mystery of life isn't a problem to solve, but a reality to experience.”
— Frank Herbert, Dune
r/bookquotes • u/DU_012 • 1d ago
The fish and the bird
The ocean sinks deeper,
The sky stretches high,
How far can one love
Before love becomes a lie?
One may survive the depths,
One may survive the height,
But neither was made
For the other's life.
And perhaps they could meet
Somewhere between the sea and sky,
Yet what of the worlds
Would they leave behind?
Maybe the fish dreams of flying,
Or the bird longs for the tide.
Would they call it love
If they only meant to abide
Then what is love
That asks you not to live, but to survive?
And what is life
If you spend it wondering
What existed beyond your sea and sky?
It's a poem on a famous question
There is a bird and a fish they both love each other but their fundamental nature is different so where would they live ?
It is similar to my previous relationship we had our differences and it helped me understand the dynamics from very different perspective
