“The great thing about travel is that you get to meet the kind of people you might otherwise cross the street to avoid.”
–Tony Horwitz, in remarks at the Key West Literary Seminar, January 7th, 2006.
“Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible without surrender
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.”
Extract from the poem Desiderata, 1927
by Max Ehrmann (1872-1945)
