I can't think of anything that excites a greater sense of childlike wonder than to be in a country where you are ignorant of almost everything. Suddenly you are five years old again. You can't read anything, you have only the most rudimentary sense of how things work, you can't even reliably cross a street without endangering your life. Your whole existence becomes a series of interesting guesses.”

Nothing will ever again be black-and-white.”

“The whole object of travel is not to set foot on foreign land; it is at last to set foot on one's own country as a foreign land.”
