Some thoughts on walking
Me thinks that the moment my legs begin to move, my thoughts begin to flow. ~Henry David Thoreau
The Americans never walk. In winter too cold and in summer too hot. ~J.B. Yeats
Everywhere is walking distance if you have the time. ~Steven Wright
"All truly great thoughts are conceived by walking."- Friedrich Nietzsche
"Our suicidal poets (Plath, Berryman, Lowell, Jarrell, et al.) spent too much of their lives inside rooms and classrooms when they should have been trudging up mountains, slogging through swamps, rowing down rivers. The indoor life is the next best thing to premature burial."- Edward Abbey
"Walking around an early spring garden--going nowhere."- Kyoshi
"The longest journey begins with a single step, not with a turn of the ignition key. That's the best thing about a walking, the journey itself. It doesn't much matter whether you get where your going or not. You'll get there anyway. Every good hike brings you eventually back home. Right were you started."- Edward Abbey, Walking
