Be careful going in search of adventure - it's ridiculously easy to find.

With a nearly desperate sense of isolation and a growing suspicion that I lived in an alien land, I took to the road in search of places where change did not mean ruin and where time and men and deeds connected.

For me, writing is not a search for explanations but a ramble in quest of what informs a place, a hunt for equivalents.

Life doesn't happen along interstates. It's against the law.

Be careful going in search of adventure - it's ridiculously easy to find.

There are two kinds of adventurers: those who go truly hoping to find adventure and those who go secretly hoping they won't.

Without the errors, wrong turns and blind alleys, without the doubling back and misdirection and fumbling and chance discoveries, there was not one bit of joy in walking the labyrinth.
