Paul Theroux

“Sluggish and sedentary peoples, such as the Ancient Egyptians-- with their concept of an afterlife journey through the Field of Reeds-- project on to the next world the journeys they failed to make in this one.”
Bruce Chatwin, The Songlines

Paul Theroux
“travel [is] flight and pursuit in equal parts.”
Paul Theroux, The Great Railway Bazaar: By Train Through Asia

“Do you know that books smell like nutmeg or some spice from a foreign land? I loved to smell them when I was a boy. Lord, there were a lot of lovely books once, before we let them go.”
Ray Bradbury

Bruce Chatwin
“I haven't got any special religion this morning. My God is the God of Walkers. If you walk hard enough, you probably don't need any other god.”
Bruce Chatwin
