“Arriving at each new city, the traveler finds again a past of his that he did not know he had: the foreignness of what you no longer are or no longer possess lies in wait for you in foreign, unpossessed places.”

“I wanted to put my hand to an enormous paean which would unify my vision of America with words spilled out in the modern spontaneous method.

― Jack Kerouac
