if you are far away from yourself, how could you ever be close to another?

The scariest thing about distance is that you don’t know whether they’ll miss you or forget you.

But what seems like a reasonable distance to one person might feel too far to somebody else.

I have observed there are no persons so far away as those who are both married and estranged, so that they seem out of ear-shot or to have no common tongue.

There are too many of us and we are all too far apart.

We underestimate the distance between ourselves and others. Not just inferential distance, but distances of temperament and ability, distances of situation and resource, distances of unspoken knowledge and unnoticed skills and luck, distances of interior landscape.

The shortest distance between two points is often unbearable.

A friend who is far away is sometimes much nearer than one who is at hand.

There is an immeasurable distance between late and too late.

The profoundest distances are never geographical.

You’ll find the distance that separates you from them, by joining them.

The next way home's the farthest way about.

So far away
Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore?
It would be so fine to see your face at my door.
Doesn't help to know you're so far away.

Once again fear, and mystery, swept over me...I was infinitely far from home. The profoundest distances are never geographical...
