A Detour is always bothersome — all roads lead to Rome, and all detours lead to profanity.

The Detour is tied to human nature -- That's what we all do: endlessly take the long way around.

A Detour is preferable, even if 20 mintues, to waiting in traffic for 10 minutes.

Escape is tied to a feeling of freedom, even if it be but from the frying pan into the fire.

Escape is best averted by making sure a prisoner never knows he's in prison.

Escape is the only story there is — all the best stories in the world are but one story in reality - the story of escape. It is the only thing which interests us all and at all times, how to escape.

Escape is not possible for one who thinks he is free.

Exploration is that at whose end we will at last arrive where we started and know the place for the first time.

Exploration is a necessity of the soul — the day we stop exploring is the day we commit ourselves to live in a stagnant world, devoid of curiosity, empty of dreams.

Exploration is the essence of the human spirit.
