“Gribble’s journey was in many ways different from others around him. He was often looked after and fed by local village chiefs where news was exchanged and advice given on both sides. He was concerned that the lives of the Kachin and Naga people were being turned upside down by the thousands of refugees. Later he was overwhelmed with worries about his own survival, but even at that final stage he had contact with local guides.”

“Et je voudrais mourir, un soir, sous un ciel rose
En faisant un bon mot, pour une belle cause !
Oh ! frappé par la seule arme noble qui soit,
Et par un ennemi qu'on sait digne de soi,
Sur un gazon de gloire et loin d'un lit de fièvres,
Tomber la pointe au coeur en même temps qu'aux lèvres !”
― Cyrano de Bergerac

“A long walk. A very long walk. Sand between my toes. The rough surf at times reaching and washing away my footprints. About a mile down the beach, I sat down and started thinking back through everything Vance had told me so far. Thought about what my next moves would be. Seeing the Asian guy tomorrow and having him snoop would settle one thing in my mind. Did Vance do it or not? Crucial. Until I knew that, I didn’t want to go any further.”
