Wandering Aimlessly Quotes

• Each time he took a walk, he felt as though he were leaving himself behind, and by giving himself up to the movement of the streets, by reducing himself to a seeing eye, he was able to escape the obligation to think, and this, more than anything else, brought him a measure of peace, a salutary emptiness within...By wandering aimlessly, all places became equal and it no longer mattered where he was. On his best walks he was able to feel that he was nowhere. And this, finally was all he ever asked of things: to be nowhere.

  Paul Auster

• Gradually, the night stumbled as if stunned and wandering aimlessly into an overcast day -- limped through the wilderland of transition as though there were no knowing where the waste of darkness ended and the ashes of light began. The low clouds seemed full of grief -- tense and uneasy with accumulated woe -- and yet affectless, unable to rain, as if the air clenched itself too hard for tears. And through the dawn, Atiaran and Covenant moved heavily, unevenly, like pieces of a broken lament.

• So many words get lost. They leave the mouthand lose their courage, wandering aimlessly until they are swept into the gutter like dead leaves. On rainy days you can hear their chorus rushing past.

• En el círculo árabe hay un papel que vaga sin rumbo en busca de un héroe. Por alguna razón, me parece que este papel nos está llamando: para que nos movamos, adoptemos sus líneas, nos pongamos sus trajes y le demos vida. De hecho, somos los únicos que podemos interpretarlo. El papel consiste en activar las enormes fuerzas latentes en la región que nos rodea para crear una gran potencia que se eleve a un nivel de dignidad y desempeñe un papel positivo en la construcción del futuro de la humanidad.

  Gamal Abdel Nasser
