I was the only kid who anybody I knew has ever seen actually walk into a lamppost with his eyes wide open. Everybody
assumed that there must be something going on inside, because there sure as hell wasn't anything going on on the outside!
Douglas Adams
Wandering around the web is like living in a world in which every doorway is actually one of those science fiction devices
which deposit you in a completely different part of the world when you walk through them. In fact, it isn't like it, it is it.
Douglas Adams
You said you were going for a walk!? What kind of walk takes six hours?
A long one?
City of Glass
Cassandra Clare
Oh, if only it were possible to find understanding,
Joseph exclaimed.
If only there were a dogma to believe in.
Everything is contradictory, everything tangential; there are no certainties anywhere. Everything can be interpreted one way
and then again interpreted in the opposite sense. The whole of world history can be explained as development and progress and
can also be seen as nothing but decadence and meaninglessness. Isn't there any truth? Is there no real and valid doctrine?
The master had never heard him speak so fervently. He walked on in silence for a little, then said:
There is truth, my
boy. But the doctrine you desire, absolute, perfect dogma that alone provides wisdom, does not exist. Nor should you long
for a perfect doctrine, my friend. Rather, you should long for the perfection of yourself. The deity is within you, not in ideas
and books. Truth is lived, not taught. Be prepared for conflicts, Joseph Knecht - I can see that they already have begun.
The Glass Bead Game
Hermann Hesse
No man is brave that has never walked a hundred miles. If you want to know the truth of who you are, walk
until not a person knows your name. Travel is the great leveler, the great teacher, bitter as medicine, crueler than
mirror-glass. A long stretch of road will teach you more about yourself than a hundred years of quiet introspection.

Patrick Rothfuss

Pamela Redmond Satran
Who am I? I'm just a writer. I write things down. I walk through your dreams and invent the future.
Sure, I sink the boat of love, but that comes later. And yes, I swallow glass, but that comes later.
Richard Siken
Last on Earth
