“There are no foreign lands. It is the traveler only who is foreign.”

“History had a way of playing cruel tricks on those who chased it.”

“We have educated ourselves into a world from which wonder, and he fear and dread and splendor and freedom of wonder have been banished. Of course wonder is costly.

Wonder is marvellous but it is also cruel, cruel, cruel. It is undemocratic, discriminatory and pitiless.”

“Some foreign states will act against a dictatorship only to gain their own economic, political, or military control over the country.”
