“L'amour véritable ne se dépense point. Plus tu donnes, plus il te reste.”
― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Citadelle

“Another admission: I am romantic, I dream-up radically impractical journeys just to try and feel or to intuit something from a past that may well have never existed – or not in the way I imagine it. Combined with this I have a tendency towards depressive states. My episodes have never been so bad that I couldn’t get out of bed and face the day, but after my time at the lighthouse and losing the woman whom I thought I loved so much, and drinking to bad effect every night, I felt a shift come on that scared me.”
― Christian Beamish, The Voyage of the Cormorant

“N'ayez jamais peur de la vie, n'ayez jamais peur de l'aventure, faites confiance au hasard, à la chance, à la destinée. Partez, allez conquérir d'autres espaces, d'autres espérances. Le reste vous sera donné de surcroît.”
― Henry de Monfreid

“The only cure for seasickness is to sit on the shady side of an old brick church in the country.”
― Paul Theroux, The Happy Isles of Oceania: Paddling the Pacific
