Epigraph

An explorer can suffer from his legend as much as a writer--the explorer, too, has a passion to create . . .
- Graham Green, "Sore Bones: Much Headache"

For my part, I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel's sake. The great affair is to move.
- Robert Louis Stevenson, "Cheylard and Luc"
