people worse
You leave the States, and you see people have bigger problems than you, much worse problems than you.
people traveling
You can't separate the people from the places - although I sometimes like traveling in places where there are no people.
realized united
The place that interests me most, actually, is the United States. I've realized that I haven't traveled much in the States. There's a lot to see.
feed people
People see a hungry face, and they want to feed it; that's a natural response.
One of my fears is not writing. I don't know how to do anything else.
I've never spent a whole year in one place without leaving.
loathe
I loathe blogs when I look at them. Blogs look, to me, illiterate. They look hasty, like someone babbling.
written
I have written stories, essays, even whole books on trains, scribble-scribble.
I do not want to be young again.
people
You need to be on your own so that you can meet people as you are, and as they are.
journals letters life work
Everything is fiction. You only have your own life to work with in the way that a biographer only has the letters and journals to work with.
great known lives people running schools type
The people I've known who've done great things of that type - you know, building hospitals, running schools - are very humble people. They give their lives to the project.
either intend people travel
I think people read travel books either because they intend to take that trip, or because they would never take that trip. In a sense, as a writer you are doing the travel for the reader.
based bus crossing easily train travel traveling whatever
The idea of traveling in Africa for me is based on going by road or train or bus or whatever and crossing borders. You can't travel easily or at all through some countries.
