Quotes.

I rarely come across quotes which I feel is worth sharing. I've always dreamt of being one of those people who can insert random quotes by random important and/or unknown people in conversations from time to time. It makes what they say sound important instantly.

Today I heard a quote which goes something along the lines of "city of ghosts" and "people just come and go". I tried those keywords in google but nothing smart came up. So in my desire to share a quote and sound smart, I've dug up one of my favourite quotes from my book of quotes (which consists of only 2 quotes anyway) to share today. HAHA.

"We sit silently and watch the world around is. This has taken us a lifetime to learn. It seems only the old are able to sit next to one another and not say anything and still feel content. The young, brash and impatient, must always break the silence. It is a waste, for silence is pure. Silence is holy. It draws people together because only those who are comfortable with each other can sit without speaking. This is the great paradox."

- Nicholas Sparks, The Notebook

I don't remember the story already. I only remember the great urge to copy down these words before they get lost in my short term memory store. I was hoping to share the city of ghosts quote here, but seems like I really cannot find it. :/ Please tell me if you've heard of a similar quote before.

School has been great because tutorials haven't started and I've only been attending 6hours worth of lectures/week for the past 2 weeks. That leaves me a lot of time to waste and I've been doing quite a good job. CNY is coming soon, I can't wait to have steamboat again. :)
