Quote for Monday, June 23, 2014
Traveling provides occasions
for shaking oneself up but not,
as people believe, freedom.
Indeed it involves a kind of reduction:
deprived of one's usual setting,
the customary routine stripped away
like to much wrapping paper,
the traveler finds himself reduced
to more modest proportion – but also
more open to curiosity, to intuition,
to love at first sight.
~ Nicolas Bouvier (The Way of the World)
