Matching Quote
"A plane is a bad place for an all-out sleep, but a good place to begin rest and recovery from the trip to the
faraway
places you've been, a decompression chamber between Here and There. Though a plane is not the ideal place really to think, to reassess or reevaluate things, it is a great place to have the illusion of doing so, and often the illusion will suffice."
-Shana Alexander
