I like to think of myself at home in the armchair writing smoking and occasionally wandering down the shop.

What ever our wandering our happiness will always be found within a narrow compass and in the middle of the objects more immediately within our reach.

I was the youngest child and got a lot more freedom than my brother and sister. I used to wander doing my own thing under the radar but I didn't get in bad bad trouble.

It was so much fun to have the freedom to wander America with no assignments. For 25 or 30 years I never had an assignment. These were all stories I wanted to do myself.

By experience we find out a short way by a long wandering.

Intellectual despair results in neither weakness nor dreams but in violence. It is only a matter of knowing how to give vent to one's rage whether one only wants to wander like madmen around prisons or whether one wants to overturn them.

Both my brothers became physicians and I of course wandered into a business where the undisciplined are welcome.

Bracketing has turned all my experiences remembered and present into a gallery of miracles where I wander around dazzled by the beauty of events I cannot explain.
