“  We gain knowledge through enlightment of the mind. Then in such a moment of enlightment, the mind goes directly to find truth, in the same way that eyes see the real world, finding it directly without the need of thinking. 

All that is necessary is the achieving of that state of purity of heart, a purity of heart, that is more important than the mechanisms of the mind. ”

Iluminacja (1973)

Director: Krzysztof Zanussi

That is really the only thing that journeys give you - talk. There is so much weariness and disappointment in travel that people have to open up - in railway trains, over a fire, on the decks of steamers, and in the palm courts of hotels on a rainy day. They have to pass the time somehow, and they can pass it only with themselves. Like the characters in Chekhov they have no reserves - you learn the most intimate secrets. You get an impression of a world peopled by eccentrics, of odd professions, almost incredible stupidities, and, to balance them, amazing endurance.

The Lawless Roads, by Graham Greene
