“Most travel, and certainly the rewarding kind, involves depending on the kindness of strangers, putting yourself into the hands of people you don't know and trusting them with your life.”
Paul Theroux, Ghost Train to the Eastern Star

Margaret Mitchell
“My dear, I don't give a damn.”
Margaret Mitchell, Gone with the Wind

Paul Theroux
“Borges, who said, “Defeat has a dignity which noisy victory does not deserve.”
Paul Theroux, Ghost Train to the Eastern Star: 28,000 Miles in Search of the Railway Bazaar

Margaret Mitchell
“I can't think about that right now. If I do, I'll go crazy. I'll think about that tomorrow.”
Margaret Mitchell, Gone with the Wind

Paul Theroux
“I think most serious and omnivorous readers are alike- intense in their dedication to the word, quiet-minded, but relieved and eagerly talkative when they meet other readers and kindred spirits.”
Paul Theroux, Ghost Train to the Eastern Star: On the Tracks of the Great Railway Bazaar
