Quotes About Travel

Virtues are in the middle, the royal way about which the saintly elder (Saint Basil the Great) said, "Travel on the royal way and count the miles." As I said, the virtues are at the midpoint between excess and laxness. That is why it is written, "Do not turn to the right or the left" (Prov 4:27) but travel on the "royal way" (Num. 20:17).

All along — not only since she left, but for a decade before — I had been imagining her without listening, without knowing that she made as a poor a window as I did.
