Patrick Leigh Fermor
“All horsepower corrupts.”
Patrick Leigh Fermor, A Time of Gifts

John Muir
“I only went out for a walk and finally concluded to stay out till sundown, for going out, I found, was really going in.”
John Muir, John of the Mountains: The Unpublished Journals of John Muir

Lydia Davis
“Read the best writers from all different periods; keep your reading of contemporaries in proportion - you do not want a steady diet of contemporary literature. You already belong to your time.”
Lydia Davis, Essays One

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
“One runs the risk of weeping a little, if one lets himself be tamed.”
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince

Ryszard Kapuściński
“Our world, seemingly global, is in reality a planet of thousands of the most varied and never intersecting provinces. A trip around the world is a journey from backwater to backwater, each of which considers itself, in its isolation, a shining star. For most people, the real world ends on the threshold of their house, at the edge of their village, or, at the very most, on the border of their valley. That, which is beyond is unreal, unimportant, and even useless, whereas that which we have at our fingertips, in our field of vision, expands until it seems an entire universe, overshadowing all else. Often, the native and the newcomer have difficulty finding a common language, because each looks at the same place through a different lens. The newcomer has a wide-angle lens, which gives him a distant diminished view, although with a long horizon line, while the local always employs a telescopic lens that magnifies the slightest detail.”
Ryszard Kapuściński, The Shadow of the Sun
