Summary

This quote highlights the importance of having clear goals and aspirations in life. Without knowing what one truly wants or desires, any path or outcome can seem acceptable. It emphasizes that a lack of direction can lead to aimlessness and a lack of purpose. Just as a ship without a determined destination will be blown in any direction by the wind, a person without defined goals will easily be swayed by external circumstances or opinions. Therefore, it encourages individuals to reflect on their aspirations in order to navigate their lives with intention and determination.

I'm one of the slowest drivers on the road. I mosey along. If you're doing anything too fast, including living life too fast, that creates sudden death. If I have to be somewhere on time, I make sure I leave early enough.

The 3 types of terror: The Gross-out: the sight of a severed

The 3 types of terror: The Gross-out: the sight of a severed head tumbling down a flight of stairs, it's when the lights go out and something green and slimy splatters against your arm. The Horror: the unnatural, spiders the size of bears, the dead waking up and walking around, it's when the lights go out and something with claws grabs you by the arm. And the last and worse one: Terror, when you come home and notice everything you own had been taken away and replaced by an exact substitute. It's when the lights go out and you feel something behind you, you hear it, you feel its breath against your ear, but when you turn around, there's nothing there...

Our instructed vagrancy, which has hardly time to linger by the hedgerows, but runs away early to the tropics, and is at home with palms and banyans --which is nourished on books of travel, and stretches the theatre of its imagination to the Zambesi.
