"...what I'm getting at is like the distinction between tourist and a traveler. The tourist experience is superficial and glancing. The traveler develops a deeper connection with her surroundings. She is more invested in them -- the traveler stays longer, makes her own plans, chooses her own destination, and usually travels alone: solo travel and solo participation, although the most difficult emotionally, seem the most likely to produce a good story."

"ما أرمي إليه هو التمييز بين السائح والرحّالة. تجربة السائح سطحية وعابرة، أما الرحّالة فتُنمّي صلة أعمق بمحيطها. إنها أكثر استثماراً فيه؛ فالرحّالة تمكث أطول، وتضع خططها بنفسها، وتختار وجهتها، وعادة ما تسافر وحدها. فالسفر الفردي والمشاركة الفردية، وإن كانا الأصعب عاطفياً، يبدوان الأكثر ترجيحاً لإنتاج قصة جيدة."

"Roads remain the essential network of the non-virtual world. They are the infrastructure upon which almost all other infrastructure depends. They are the paths of human endeavor."

"...required for good fiction: character, conflict, change through time. And if you're really blessed, you get resolution. But life doesn't usually work out that way."
