I am tired of myself in every way. All things, deep down to the secret of their roots, are stained by the color of my weariness.

The value of things is not the time they last, but the intensity with which they occur. That is why there are unforgettable moments and unique people!

Life is what we make of it. Travel is the traveler. What we see isn't what we see but what we are.
