“The compact between writing and walking is almost as old as literature -- a walk is only a step away from a story, and every path tells.”
― Robert Macfarlane, The Old Ways: A Journey on Foot

“Felt pressure, sensed texture and perceived space can work upon the body and so too upon the mind, altering the textures and inclinations of thought.”
― Robert Macfarlane, The Old Ways: A Journey on Foot

“To attempt, to brave, to persist, and persevere, to be faithful to one's self, to wrestle with destiny, to astound the catastrophe by the slight fear which is causes us, now to confront unjust power, again to insult intoxicated victory, to hold firm and withstand -- such is the example which nations need and the light which electrifies them.”
― Victor Hugo

“I remembered what Thoreau had written in his journal about thinking nothing of walking eight miles to greet a tree.”
― Robert Macfarlane, The Old Ways: A Journey on Foot
