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.

I had to live in the desert before I could understand the full value of grass in a green ditch.

I refuse to imprison our acts in the rigid mould of sentences.

The benefits of the accomplished journey cannot be weighed in terms of perfect moments, but in terms of how this journey affects and changes our character.

Not only does travel give us a new system of reckoning, it also brings to the fore unknown aspects of our own self. Our consciousness being broadened and enriched, we shall judge ourselves more correctly.

The sooner we learn to be jointly responsible, the easier the sailing will be.
