To travel is to discover that everyone is wrong about other countries.

I’ve learned that
pleasing everyone
is impossible,
but pissing everyone
off is a piece of cake.

We are all alone, born alone, die alone, and — in spite of True Romance magazines — we shall all someday look back on our lives and see that, in spite of our company, we were alone the whole way. I do not say lonely — at least, not all the time — but essentially, and finally, alone. This is what makes your self-respect so important, and I don’t see how you can respect yourself if you must look in the hearts and minds of others for your happiness.
