travel is a good thing (especially for me)

travel is a good thing; it stimulates the imagination. everything else is a snare and a delusion. our own journey is entirely imaginative. therein lies its strenght.

it leads from life to death. men, beasts, cities, everything in it is imaginary. it's a novel, only a made up story. the dictionary says so and it's never wrong.

besides, everyone can go and like wise. shut your eyes, that's all that is necessary.

there you have life seen from the other side.

notre vie est un voyage
dans l'hiver et dans la nuit,
nous cherchons notre passage
dans le ciel ou rien ne luit

(Chanson des Gardes Suisses, 1973)
