Aphorisms

Routine is refuge. Retreat there, take solace, rebuild. With luck, emerge from it more capable.

Don’t do the same thing every day. Do the same thing multiple days in a row. But draw the line. You’ll be better for it.

Tourism is a guilty attempt to buy culture without providing value. None of the overwhelming negative impacts of tourism are offset by money.

Memory and enjoyment are indisputibly and inextricably inversely proportional to speed of travel. Inter-state and -national travel are forgettable not because there is nothing of interest. They are forgettable because nothing can be remembered.
