" There is a passage here I want to find for you. Give me that book, child. R. L. S. has said what I mean better than I could think it.’ She turns over the pages as if she loved them and reads in her soft, husky voice: ‘ “The strangest thing in all man’s travelling is that he should carry about with him incongruous memories. There is no foreign land; it is the traveller only who is foreign, and now and then, by a flash of recollection, lights up the contrasts of the earth. "

― D.E. Stevenson , Mrs. Tim Christie
