“These days there seems to be nowhere left to explore, at least on the land area of the Earth. Victims of their very success, the explorers now pretty much stay home.”
“I explore it now in the only place left for it, my memory.”
“Days of toil, nights of torture--an explorer's life! Where is the romance now?”
“The way we consume information leads us to think less and less about more and more. We spend much of our time fixated on secondary questions (usually related to controversial and sensational issues) and very little time exploring the primary questions about our brief stay here on earth.”

“I may not have proved a great explorer but we have done the greatest march ever made and come very near to great success. -Robert Scott-”
