Travel is the traveler. What we see isn’t what we see but what we are.Stones in the road? I save every single one, and one day I’ll build a castle.I am nothing. I’ll never be anything. I couldn’t want to be something. Apart from that, I have in me all the dreams in the world.If you cannot live alone, you were born a slave.Everything is worthwhile if the soul is not small.There are no norms.

It’s our own concept—our own selves—that we love.For who expects nothing, all that comes is gratefulI look at myself but I’m missing. I know myself: it’s not me.My soul is a hidden orchestra; I know not what instruments, what fiddlestrings and harps, drums and tamboura I sound and clash inside myself. All I hear is the symphony.To be great, be whole; Exclude nothing. Be whole in everything.
