“At any particular moment in a man's life, he can say that everything he has done and not done, that has been done and not been done to him, has brought him to that moment. If he's being installed as Chieftain or receiving a Nobel Prize, that's a fulfilling notion. But if he's in a sleeping bag at ten thousand feet in a snowstorm, parked in the middle of a highway and waiting to freeze to death, the idea can make him feel calamitously stupid.” IfsMenFeelsHas BeensIdeasDoneMomentsWaitingSleepFeetMiddleStupidParticularThousandTenNotionBagsPrizeThat MomentReceivingFulfillingHighwaysNobelFreezeNobel PrizeSnowstorms Book:Blue Highways: A Journey Into America Source: Blue Highways: A Journey Into America
“What you've done becomes the judge of what you're going to do - especially in other people's minds. When you're traveling, you are what you are right there and then. People don't have your past to hold against you.
