Blessed be they who never travel
and they who scarcely feel any longing to get to know far away countries
- for they may enjoy a calm life and one full of delight.Blessed also are they who take short trips to far-flung parts of the planet during their holidays
- for they will derive enriching education and most enjoyable experiences.But woe to those who dare to set forth on the Route of the True Traveller!
This will not leave them with a single moment of mental peace
and it will remove them from all other worldly interests;
they will strive in vain to satisfy an insatiable craving for more travel
and they will never believe that they have travelled enough.
All that awaits these nomadic souls is a permanent restlessness
and an unceasing anxiety to learn about every corner of the earth,
about the natural history of the beings that inhabit it
and to assess the meaning of their own existence.Jorge Sanchez
