Quote: Paul Theroux ...
"It is fatal to know too much at the outset: boredom comes as quickly to the traveler who knows his route as to the novelist who is overcertain of his plot."

Quote: Robert Service ...
There's a race of men that don't fit in,
A race that can't stay still;
So they break the hearts of kith and kin,
And they roam the world at will.
They range the field and they rove the flood,
And they climb the mountain's crest;
Theirs is the curse of the gypsy blood,
And they don't know how to rest.
-- from "The Men That Don't Fit In," published in Songs of a Sourdough, 1907

And they don't know how to rest.
