O knihe

Travel companions on my journeys are four in number: Odysseus, Don Quixote, Huckleberry Finn and Basho." (Travel) "He walked in priestly garb. Arriving towards evening at a town or village, he'd chant sutras until passersby gave him, or flung him, enough money for a flophouse bed, a little food, a bath and enough saké to induce a measure of forgetfulness. 'A beggar,' he admonished himself, 'has to learn to be an all-out beggar. Unless he can be that, he will never taste the happiness of being a beggar.'" (Walking) '"The pleasantest of all diversions,' said the fourteenth-century Japanese priest Kenko," is to sit alone under the lamp, a book spread before you, and to make friends with people of a distant past you have never known.' Reading is inseparable from reverie. 'Sitting alone under the lamp,' I was soon not alone at all, but hosting, I venture to say, as vivid and varied a company as ever gathered under one roof. (Genji, Myshkin and Jones) "Everest is nothing, mere seismology." (Fuji, Sinai, Olympos)
