Joseph Conrad
“Watching a coast as it slips by the ship is like thinking about an enigma. There it is before you, smiling, frowning, inviting, grand, mean, insipid, or savage, and always mute with an air of whispering, "Come and find out".”
Joseph Conrad, Heart of Darkness

Tahir Shah
“The ability to tell a good route from a terrible one is a valuable skill when leading an expedition. Unfortunately for us all, it was a skill I did not possess.”
Tahir Shah, House of the Tiger King : The Quest for a Lost City
