‘And yet it is every traveller’s conceit that no one will see what he has seen: his trip displaces the landscape and his version of events is all that matters. He is certainly kidding himself in this, but if he didn’t kid himself a little he would never go anywhere.’  
  
  
Paul Theroux, ***The Kingdom by the Sea***
