Journey

Famous quotes containing the word journey:

    He was calm; however, he had to be supported during the journey through the long corridors, since he planted his feet unsteadily, like a child who has just learned to walk, or as if he were about to fall through like a man who has dreamt that he is walking on water only to have a sudden doubt: but is this possible?
    Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)

    For when the gallows is high
    Your journey is shorter to heaven.
    —Unknown. The Night before Larry Was Stretched (l. 57–58)

    Along the journey we commonly forget its goal. Almost every vocation is chosen and entered upon as a means to a purpose but is ultimately continued as a final purpose in itself. Forgetting our objectives is the most frequent stupidity in which we indulge ourselves.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
