The moment that changed me for ever was the moment my first child was born. I was happy, filled with hope, and thought, Now I understand the whole point of work, of life, of love. – Paul Theroux
When I was in the Peace Corps I never made a phone call. I was in Central Africa I didnt make a phone call for two years. I was in Uganda for another four years and I didnt make a phone call. So for six years I didnt make a phone call, but I wrote letters, I wrote short stories, I wrote books. – Paul Theroux
