“I can only meditate when I am walking, when I stop I cease to think; my mind only works with my legs.”
― Rousseau Jean-Jacques 1712-1778

“This is what is behind the special relationship between tale and travel, and, perhaps, the reason why narrative writing is so closely bound up with walking. To write is to carve a new path through the terrain of the imagination, or to point out new features on a familiar route. To read is to travel through that terrain that the author as guide - a guide one may not always agree with our trust, but who can at least be counted upon to take one somewhere. I have have often wished that my sentences could be written out as a single line running into distances so that it would be clear that a sentence is likewise a road and reading is traveling.”
― Rebecca Solnit, Wanderlust: A History of Walking

“Always walk as if you’re running late, it’s healthier.”
― Benny Bellamacina, Piddly Poems for Children: Volume 1

“The boring thing with taking a walk with someone is that your thoughts are then dictated by the subject or subjects of your conversation; and that is made worse by the fact that most sane people are terrified of silence whenever they are with or near someone.”
― Mokokoma Mokhonoana
