“I travel not to go anywhere, but to go…

“I travel for travel’s sake. The great affair is to move; to feel the needs and hitches of life more nearly; to come down off this feather-bed of civilisation, and find the globe granite underfoot and strewn with cutting flints.”


Robert Louis Stevenson: Travels with a Donkey in the Cévennes.
