“To fly is the opposite of traveling: you cross a gap in space, you vanish into the void, you accept not being in a place for a duration that is itself a kind of void in time; then you reappear, in a place and in a moment with no relation to the where and when in which you vanished.”

“A journey, after all, neither begins in the instant we set out, nor ends when we have reached our door step once again.

Indeed, there exists something like a contagion of travel, and the disease is essentially incurable.”
