#9 “Travel makes one modest, you see what a tiny place you occupy in the world.”
#10 “Life is short and the world is wide.”
#11 “Paris is always a good idea.”

#17 “Oh, the places you’ll go.”

You can’t read anything, you have only the most rudimentary sense of how things work, you can’t reliably cross a street without endangering your life. Your whole existence becomes a series of interesting guesses.”
