Be careful going in search of adventure - it's ridiculously easy to find.
Instead of insight, maybe all a man gets is strength to wander for a while.
At the beginning we learn to travel, then we travel to learn.
What you've done becomes the judge of what you're going to do - especially in other people's minds. When you're traveling, you are what you are right there and then. People don't have your past to hold against you. No yesterdays on the road.
Memory is each man's own last measure, and for some, the only achievement.
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.
