Quote by Edward Hoagland
If a walker is indeed an individualist there is nowhere he can't go at dawn and not many places he can't go at noon. But just as it demeans life to live alongside a great river you can no longer swim in or drink from, to be crowded into safer areas and hours takes much of the gloss off walking -- one sport you shouldn't have to reserve a time and a court for.
Summary
This quote suggests that walkers, symbolizing individuals who value independence and freedom, have the ability to explore various places and journey at any time. It highlights the idea that walking should not be confined to specific areas or specific time slots, as it diminishes the essence and pleasure of the activity. Comparing it to living alongside a river that can no longer be fully appreciated, the quote emphasizes the importance of preserving the unrestricted nature of walking as a liberating and spontaneous sport.
