I gained direct knowledge of the life of the poor in big towns: I have lived the narrowing mechanism of its conditioning and feared it.

One of the main points about travelling is to develop in us a feeling of solidarity, of that oneness without which no better world is possible.

Shall we ever see the 10 million things of the universe simultaneously in order to be the all? I am convinced that to live is to travel towards the world's end.

Humanity is made up of an infinity of different individuals. Each of us travels for motives exclusively his own.

I did not want to be depressed by the gap existing between my weakness and my ambition.

I am sure that instinctively we wish to be everything, to possess it-why cut the rose or marry the man, otherwise?

Travel can also be the spirit of adventure somewhat tamed, for those who desire to do something they are a bit afraid of.
