When no possessions keep us, when no countries contain us, and no time detains us, man becomes a heroic wanderer, and woman, a wanderess.

From all that I saw,and everywhere I wandered,I learned that time cannot be spent,It only can be squandered.

I wandered everywhere, through cities and countries wide. And everywhere I went, the world was on my side.

Being the Novelist-in-Residence at a riad hotel in the kasbah of an Arabic North African city is a lot like trying to write one’s memoirs on shreds of napkins in a nuthouse.

I was forced to wander, having no one, forced by my nature to keep wandering because wandering was the only thing that I believed in, and the only thing that believed in me.

A person does not grow from the ground like a vine or a tree, one is not part of a plot of land. Mankind has legs so it can wander.

To make your life a work of wondergo into the night and wander;penetrate the world asunder,to find your fate in someplace fonder.
