“The whole object of travel is not to set foot on foreign land; it is at last to set foot on one’s own country as a foreign land.”
“An adventure is only an inconvenience rightly considered.” “There are no rules of architecture for a castle in the clouds.” “The aim of life is to live, and to live means to be aware, joyously, drunkenly, serenely, divinely aware.” “The_Christian_ideal_has_not_been_tried_and_found_wanting._It_has_been_found_difficult;_and_left_untried.” |
