“Angie was where most of me began and all of me ended.”

“life takes us all in differnt path but in the end we land in the same place which is where we began”

“We must not cease from exploration. And the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we began and to know the place for the first time.”

“The wild places are where we began. When they end, so do we.”

“One life passed, another began, then that passed and a third began, and there's still no end. All the ends are cut off as if with a pair of scissors.”

“I thought back to Europe, where this journey began, then to Berkeley and even Madison, where the plans were first hatched. I thought about how the road led through Amsterdam, Paris and Greece, how for Guy and Sarah it continued through Central Asia, and how for me it detoured through East Africa. I thought about how many people had started off on this same journey, and how few had made it this far. I thought about how, of all the possible destinations this was the farthest outpost, the most remote spot of all - Kathmandu was the end of the road.”
