The Leftovers: “I Live Here Now” (Season 2 : Episode 10Kevin Garvey (Justin Theroux) “Homeward Bound”
Song: Homeward Bound
Lyrics: Simon & Garfunkel
I'm sitting in the railway station
Got a ticket to my destination
On a tour of one-night stands
my suitcase and guitar in hand
And every stop is neatly planned
for a poet and a one-man band
Homeward bound
I wish I was
Homeward bound
Home where my thought's escaping
Home where my music's playing
Home where my love lies waiting
Silently for me
Every day's an endless stream
Of cigarettes and magazines
And each town looks the same to me,
the movies and the factories
And every stranger's face I see
reminds me that I long to be
Homeward bound
I wish I was
Homeward bound
Home where my thought's escaping
Home where my music's playing
Home where my love lies waiting
Silently for me
Tonight I'll sing my songs again
I'll play the game and pretend
But all my words come back to me
in shades of mediocrity
Like emptiness in harmony
I need someone to comfort me
Homeward bound
I wish I was
Homeward bound
Home where my thought's escaping
Home where my music's playing
Home where my love lies waiting
Silently for me
Silently for me
"... the highest passion in a [hu]man is faith, and here no generation begins at any other point than did the preceding generation, every generation begins all over again..."
"There are perhaps many in every generation who do not even reach it, but no one gets further."
"'One must go further, one must go further.'"
from "Fear and Trembling" by Søren Kierkegaard

"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe...
Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion...
I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate.
All those
moments will be lost in time,
like tears in rain..".
Yamantaka, Destroyer of the God of Death. Distemper painting on cloth, early 18th centuryTibet
“I shall not fear.
Fear is the mind killer.
Fear is the little death
That brings obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me
And through me.
And when it is gone past me
I will turn to see fears path.
Where the fear had gone
There will be nothing.
Only I will remain.”
from Dune
by Frank Herbert
“My name is Professor June Bauer, and this semester I will guide you to the threshold of your humanity…”
“The most important tool is respect…
And the reason I know respect is a tool is because it is clearly not a natural thing and we forget to use it all the time. And then we start competing with each other, exploiting each other, humiliating each other and controlling each other. And we lose each other.
And without each other, we’ll go extinct.”
-Jeff Winger (Community: Anthropology 101)
“Uh, we learned that working together is better. Heh, whatever.”
“You know the [best] part about [attainment]? Suddenly, you’re able to travel the whole galaxy, and the first thing you learn is, you’re the last [to achieve it].”
