“A word (...) is never the destination, merely a signpost in its general direction; and whatever (...) body that destination finally acquires owes quite as much to the reader as to the writer.”
“As a travel writer I've specialized in gritty, fearful destinations, the kind of places that make a reader's hair stick on end.”
“there is direction but there is no destination”
“Direction, not intention determines your destination.”
“The leaves of hopes which have destined words in the body of the thought have settled to the ground. This is the world.”
“Writers and travelers are mesmerized alike by the knowing of their destination”
