Of Travel
I undertake my journeys neithter to return nor to reach a certain destination. I undertake them reclusively for the sake of the movement, as long as the movement pleases me. I am en route for being en route. The spirit constantly observes new things, unknown to itself. I would not know a better guide to educate ourselves, than to expose it incessantly to the plurality of the manifold forms of existences, assumptions and applications, and to let it take a fancy to this endless alteration of manifestations of our nature.

Michel de Montaigne
