“A trip, a safari, an exploration, is an entity, different from all other journeys. It has personality, temperament, individuality, uniqueness. A journey is a person in itself; no two are alike. And all plans, safeguards, policing, and coercion are fruitless. We find after years of struggle that we do not take a trip; a trip takes us.”
— John Steinbeck … “Travels With Charley”
“The most solid advice…”
“Try as much as possible to be wholly alive, with all your might, and when you laugh, laugh like hell and when you get angry, get good and angry. Try to be alive. You will be dead soon enough.”
— William Saroyan
“… he felt an extraordinary sense physical and mental settlement.
It was perfectly true; he just rather liked being at Shangri-La.”

“Ama sua, ama llula, ama cheklla.”
Translated: “Do not steal, do not lie, do not be lazy.”
“Something hidden. Go and find it. Go and look behind the Ranges —
“Something lost behind the Ranges. Lost and wating for you. Go!”
Rudyard Kipling from “The Explorer”
“You better not look down if you want to keep on flying
Put the hammer down keep it full speed ahead
You better not look back or you might just wind up crying
You can keep it moving if you don’t look down…”
B.B. King – “Better Not Look Down” Lyrics
