Steinbeck

"Once a journey is designed, equipped, and put in process, a new factor enters 
and takes over. A trip, a safari, an exploration, is an entity, different from 
all other journeys. It has personality, temperament, individuality, 
uniqueness. A journey is a person in itself; no two are alike. And all plans, 
safeguards, policing, and coercion are fruitless. We find after years of 
struggle that we do not take a trip; a trip takes us." 

-John Steinbeck, Travels with Charley
