The cure for anything is salt water - sweat, tears, or the sea.

If it is right, it happens—The main thing is not to hurry. Nothing good gets away.
— John Steinbeck, on falling in love, a response to his eldest son’s 1958 letter, from John Steinbeck: A Life in Letters (Viking Adult, 1975)
I believed in a good home, in sane and sound living, in good food, good times, work, faith and hope. I have always believed in these things. It was with some amazement that I realized I was one of the few people in the world who really believed in these things without going around making a dull middle class philosophy out of it. I was suddenly left with nothing in my hands but a handful of crazy stars.
— On the Road, Jack Kerouac (via creatingaquietmind)
