Womankind always seems to be able to see a dozen steps into the future, far ahead of what men are able to see. And they have strength where we do not. ↗

So you think that money is the root of all evil? [...] Have you ever asked what is the root of money? Money is a tool of exchange, which can't exist unless there are goods produced and men able to produce them. Money is the material shape of the principle that men who wish to deal with one another must deal by trade and give value for value. Money is not the tool of the moochers, who claim your product by tears, or of the looters, who take it from you by force. Money is made possible only by the men who produce. Is this what you consider evil? ↗

This was how it was with travel: one city gives you gifts, another robs you. One gives you the heart’s affections, the other destroys your soul. Cities and countries are as alive, as feeling, as fickle and uncertain as people. Their degrees of love and devotion are as varying as with any human relation. Just as one is good, another is bad. ↗

I care not that this moment’s lot was thin and sparsely dealt; all pleasures sweet can be forgot the instant they are felt. ↗

I wandered everywhere, through cities and countries wide. And everywhere I went, the world was on my side. ↗
