...nothing in the world is harder than convincing someone of an unfamiliar truth.

I've always liked the moonless night best. It's easier to say things in the dark. It's easier to be yourself.

But no. There is a difference between the truth and what we wish were true.

I don't mind being called a liar. I am. I am a marvelous liar. But I hate being called a liar when I´m telling the perfect truth.

It will be worth it if I am remembered, if not flatteringly, then at least with some small amount of accuracy.

No man is brave that has never walked a hundred miles. If you want to know the truth of who you are, walk until not a person knows your name. Travel is the great leveler, the great teacher, bitter as medicine, crueler than mirror-glass. A long stretch of road will teach you more about yourself than a hundred years of quiet introspection.
