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
The microbe is so very small: You cannot take him out at all. – Hilaire Belloc
It is sometimes necessary to lie damnably in the interests of the nation. – 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
