Statement

I am officially stuck in Brazil for over a year. I must leave!

Gilbert Keith Chesterton

The whole object of travel is not to set foot on foreign land; it is at last to set foot on one's own country as a foreign land.

Jean Paul Sartre

Being and Nothingness, 1943

I am condemned to exist forever beyond my essence, beyond the causes and motives of my act. I am condemned to be free. This means that no limits to my freedom can be found except freedom itself or, if you prefer, that we are not free to cease being free.
