    Robert W. Service
    “There's a race of men that don't fit in,
    A race that can't sit still;
    So they break the hearts of kith and kin, And they roam the world at will.

    And they climb the mountain's crest; Their's is the curse of the gypsy blood,
    And they don't know how to rest.”
    Robert Service

    Elisabeth Eaves
    “I know it's not strictly sex that accounts for my straying the motive usually attributed to men. I think it's just too tempting to have two lives rather than one. Some people think that too much travel begets infidelity: Separation and opportunity test the bonds of love. I think it's more likely that people who hate to make choices to settle on one thing or another are attracted to travel. Travel doesn't beget a double life. The appeal of the double life begets travel.”
    Elisabeth Eaves, Wanderlust: A Love Affair with Five Continents
