“The eternal child is one who has never seen anything so beautiful, because he doesn’t compare. […] But the walker who marvels while walking (the blue of the rocks in a July evening light, the silvery green of olive leaves at noon, the violet morning hills) has no past, no plans, no experience. He has within him the eternal child.” A Philosophy of Walking, pg. 84, Frederic Gros

The first man to write a treatise on walking, Henry David Thoreau, said:

“Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth.”
