A journey, I reflected, is of no merit unless it has tested you.
Buy a house in a foreign country and, it seems, that anything which can go wrong usually does.
On a hard jungle journey nothing is so important as having a team you can trust.
A man who embarks on a journey must know when to end it.
I was no longer troubled when he pulled out a machete in a crowded bar, tried to pick up schoolgirls, or threatened to scalp us, then rip off our heads and scoop out our brains.
There's nothing like a pack of mules to give one a sense of entourage.
