What is worthwhile in life? I think it is worth living and dreaming. If you don't you may be dead anyhow - inside.

Going to the mountains is going home.

A lifetime is so little a time that we die before we get ready to live. I should like to study at a college, but then I have to say to myself: "You will die before you can do anything else".

The world is big and I want to have a good look at it before it gets dark.

Trees go wandering forth in all directions with every wind, going and coming like ourselves, traveling with us around the sun two million miles a day, and through space heaven knows how fast and far!

Most people who travel look only at what they are directed to look at. Great is the power of the guidebook maker, however ignorant.

Writing is like the life of a glacier; one eternal grind.
