Were Quotes

Looking back at what was.

This page collects quotes that look backward - one traveler recalling how ordinary tea shops became a favorite haunt abroad, another speaker arguing that drug use is a symptom of deeper trouble rather than the root cause. Readers who like reflective phrasing may also enjoy Family.

A quieter entry touches on people who were dreaming of home and hoping to return, a theme of longing that runs through much of this set. For more nostalgic or memory-driven pages, browse First or Because.
