“You know about innards? The trick they play on tramps in the country? They stuff an old wallet with putrid chicken innards. Well, take it from me, a man is just like that, except that he's fatter and hungrier and can move around, and inside there's a dream.”
― Louis-Ferdinand Céline, Journey to the End of the Night

“Every man should be capable of all ideas, and I believe that in the future he will be.”

― Nicolas Bouvier, The Way of the World
