Memory is each man's own last measure, and for some, the only achievement.

Adventure is putting one's ignorance into motion.

Other than to amuse himself, why should a man pretend to know where he's going or understand what he sees?

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.

Instead of insight, maybe all a man gets is strength to wander for a while.

Get out and find ...the country. And ourselves.

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