Shen Wei/re-discovering The East Through Personal Travel 2005-2009

Famous quotes containing the words east, personal and/or travel:

    The very nursery tales of this generation were the nursery tales of primeval races. They migrate from east to west, and again from west to east; now expanded into the “tale divine” of bards, now shrunk into a popular rhyme.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Art is a concrete and personal and rather childish thing after all—no matter what people do to graft it into science and make it sociological and psychological; it is no good at all unless it is let alone to be itself—a game of make-believe, or re-production, very exciting and delightful to people who have an ear for it or an eye for it.
    Willa Cather (1873–1947)

    When you travel to the Celestial City, carry no letter of introduction. When you knock, ask to see God,—none of the servants.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
