I never travel without my diary. One should always have something sensational to read in the train.

Oscar Wilde

Once the center of the literary universe, Paris is filled with former haunts of word slingers. On more than one trip to the city, I have found myself on a gin-soaked trail of F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway in hot pursuit of a way of life that was wrapped in literary rapture, booze and romance.

Jenna Broughton, Instant Grativacation

[instantgrativacation]

I've always wanted to get as far as possible from the place where I was born. Far both geographically and spiritually. To leave it behind ... I feel that life is very short and the world is there to see and one should know as much about it as possible. One belongs to the whole world, not just one part of it.

Paul Bowles

[instantgrativacation]

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

Theodore Roosevelt
