Quote »
Traveling is a brutality. It forces you to trust strangers and to lose sight of all that familiar comfort of home and friends. You are constantly off balance. Nothing is yours except the essential things – air, sleep, dreams, the sea, the sky- all things tending towards the eternal or what we imagine of it.
— Cesare Pavese
