"Part of what makes roads, trails and paths so unique as built structures is that they cannot be perceived as a whole all at once by a sedentary onlooker. They unfold in time as one travels along them, just as a story does as one listens or reads, and a hairpin turn is like a plot twist, a steep ascent a building of suspense to the view at the summit, a fork in the road an introduction of a new storyline, arrival the end of the story. Just as writing allows one to read the words of someone who is absent, so roads make it possible to trace the route of the absent. Roads are a record of those who have gone before and to follow them is to follow people who are no longer there."
"Pessimists never go on a voyage of discovery, equally so they never leave the shoreline in search of new horizons."
"If you do not begin to search, then you cannot find anything."
"We were just looking at maps..."
"Life is a sacred experiment."

He managed to state that one, he was playing "classical music; that two, he was doing it "softly; and that three, "there were not many readers around in summer. I was there, a one-man multitude."
"A novelist is, like all mortals, more fully at home on the surface of the present than in the ooze of the past."
"It's a pity one can't imagine what one can't compare to anything. Genius is an African who dreams up snow."
