“There comes . . . a longing never to travel again except on foot.”

“In the mountains, travelers were reduced to the speed of men on foot. Here, the ancient English sense of journey, 'a day's travel' (French journee), meant the same as the Old Persian word farsang, 'the distance a man could travel on foot in a day,' and the territory was in effect ungovernable.”

“They will come back, come back again,As long as the red earth rolls.He never wasted a leaf or a tree.Do you think he would squander souls?”

“The whole object of travel is not to set foot on foreign land; it is at last to set foot on one’s own country as a foreign land.”

“Forget them, Wendy. Forget them all. Come with me where you'll never, never have to worry about grown up things again. Never is an awfully long time.”

“And will 'a not come again? And will 'a not come again? No, no, he is dead, Go to thy death bed: He will never come again.”
