"Innocents Abroad is fascinating.
Great satire. Really skewers:
- some super- naive types - just one e.g. those who think their interests/actions are universal interests/actions
- those who put up with the mundane too long
- those who develop bad/harmful habits but who get called out about them (including the author!!!)" — Sep 06, 2026 04:20AM

“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”

“All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.”
