More on Exploration
“There are continents and seas in the moral world, to which every man is an isthmus or inlet, yet unexplored by him.”
“If you would learn to speak all tongues and conform to the customs of all nations, if you would travel farther than all travellers, be naturalized in all climes, and cause the Sphinx to dash her head against a stone, even obey the precept of the old philosopher, and Explore thyself. Herein are demanded the eye and the nerve. Only the defeated and deserters go to the wars, cowards that run away and enlist.”
“If you wish to advance into the infinite, explore the finite in all directions.”

“When I really want to learn about something, I write a book on it. Then the real research begins, as I begin to hear people's stories, and huge amounts of information begins to comes straight to my doorstep. Then I can write an even better book the next time!”
“What man does not know,Or has not thought of,Wanders in the nightThrough the labyrinth of the mind.”
“I roamed the countryside searching for answers to things I did not understand. Why shells existed on the tops of mountains. How the various circles of water form around the spot which has been struck by a stone, and why a bird sustains itself in the air.”
