"My head was nearly turned with fear and shame; and at what I saw, when I looked out around me on the moor, my heart was like dying in my body. For sure enough..."
"Under the wide and starry sky Dig the grave and let me lie: Glad did I live and gladly die, And I laid me down with a will. This be the verse you grave for me: Here he lies where he long'd to be; Home is the sailor, home from sea, And the hunter home from the hill."
(I loved Robert Louis Stevenson's work when I was a boy -- he really does hold up remarkably well)
"For my part, I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel's sake."
