To walk because it is good for you warps the sould, just as it warps the soul for a man to talk for hire or because he think it his duty. – Hilaire Belloc
I have wandered all my life, and I have traveled; the difference between the two is this — we wander for distraction, but we travel for fulfillment. – Hilaire Belloc

How can you explain that you need to know that the trees are still there, and the hills and the sky? Anyone knows they are. How can you say it is time your pulse responded to another rhythm, the rhythm of the day and the season instead of the hour and the minute? No, you cannot explain. So you walk. – Author unknown, from New York Times editorial, “The Walk,” 25 October 1967
