22 " I tell you these stories because these things happen to everyone. It’s not about being starched or polished or cute or polite.

24 " I don't want to trudge up insane mountains or through war-torn lands. Just a nice stroll through the hill and dale. But now I walk everywhere in the city. Any city. You see everything you need to see in a lifetime. Every emotion. Every condition. Every fashion. Every glory. "
25 " Go out and walk. That is the glory of life. "
26 " Oh, Tocqueville, you're the man. "
