“A poem is an invitation to a voyage. As in life, we travel to see fresh sights.”

“Long voyages often lose themselves.Mam?You will see. It is difficult even for brothers to travel together on such a voyage. The road has its own reasons and no two travelers will have the same understanding of those reasons. If indeed they come to an understanding of them at all. Listen to the corridos of the country. They will tell you. Then you will see in your own life what is the cost of things. Perhaps it is true that nothing is hidden. Yet many do not wish to see what lies before them in plain sight. You will see. The shape of the road is the road. There is not some other road that wears the shape but only the one. And every voyage begun upon it will be completed. Whether horses are found or not.”

“Life is what we make of it. Travel is the traveler. What we see isn't what we see but what we are.”

“Life is whatever we make it. The traveller is the journey. What we see is not what we see but who we are. (76)”

“Certainly, travel is more than the seeing of sights; it is a change that goes on, deep and permanent, in the ideas of living.”

“Invitations to travel are like dancing lessons from God.”
