Deep Travel Thoughts

I never read the dedications at the front of books, what do I care if the author's sister's cousin's gardener's dentist contributed anything? But on the next page was this astounding quote:


It seemed to me that by a long journey to some far distant country I might renew myself... I journeyed to the Far East. I went looking for adventure and romance, and so I found them... but I found also something I had never expected. I found a new self.
-W. SOMERSET MAUGHAM


I love it when the world sends you a little sign.
It's about the journey, my friends...
