"A man needs to travel. On your own, not through stories, pictures, books or TV. You need to travel by yourself, with your eyes and feet, to understand what is yours. To one day plant your own trees and give them value. Knowing the cold to enjoy the heat. And the opposite. Feel the distance and the shelter to be right under the ceiling. A man must travel to places he does not know to break this arrogance that makes us see the world as we imagine it, not simply as it is or can be. That makes us teachers and doctors of what we did not see, when we should be students, and simply go see " Amyr Klink. “Viaggiare è proprio utile, fa lavorare l’immaginazione. Tutto il resto è delusione e fatica. Il viaggio che ci è dato è interamente immaginario. Ecco la sua forza. Va dalla vita alla morte. Uomini, bestie, città e cose, è tutto inventato. È un romanzo, nient’altro che una storia fittizia. Lo dice Littré, lui non sbaglia mai. E poi in ogni caso tutti possono fare altrettanto. Basta chiudere gli occhi. È dall’altra parte della vita.”
