Melancholy && Excitement

Paddy is leaving for another shore, few lines on my blog for him

Miner's Wife: Are you two looking for work?
Ernesto Guevara de la Serna: No, we aren't looking for work.
Miner's Wife: No?... Then why are you traveling?
Ernesto Guevara de la Serna: We travel just to travel.
Miner's Wife: Bless you... Blessed be your travels.

Ernesto Guevara de la Serna: What do we leave behind when we cross each frontier?
Each moment seems split in two; melancholy for what was left behind and the excitement
of entering a new land.

Ernesto Guevara de la Serna: What we had in common - our restlessness, our impassioned spirits,
and a love for the open road
- Motorcycle Diaries
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the
intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well
preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, nine
iron in one hand, martini in the other, body
thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming
"WOO HOO what a ride
-Zorba the Greek
