Quote by Virginia Woolf
What I like, or one of the things I like, about motoring is the sense it gives one of lighting accidentally, like a voyager who touches another planet with the tip of his toe, upon scenes which would have gone on, have always gone on, will go on, unrecorded, save for this chance glimpse. Then it seems to me I am allowed to see the heart of the world uncovered for a moment.
Summary
This quote expresses the pleasure of motoring and the feeling of stumbling upon hidden moments and scenes that would have otherwise gone unnoticed and unrecorded. It compares it to the experience of a voyager slightly touching a foreign planet, allowing the individual to witness a small glimpse of the world's essence. It describes the sense of privilege and connection to something greater when these fleeting opportunities arise.
