It was a silly age, twenty-five; too old for teenage dreaming, too young for settling down. Every corner was a possibility or a dead end.

Toni Morrison, Tar Baby (1981)

I stopped by the bar at 3 a.m. / To seek solace in a bottle or possibly a friend / I woke up with a headache like my head against a board / Twice as cloudy as I'd been the night before / I went in seeking clarity.

Indigo Girls, Closer to Fine (1989)

Not all who wander are lost.

J.R.R. Tolkien, Lord of the Rings
