More From Paul Theroux
- "Mark Twain was a great traveler and he wrote three or four great travel books. I wouldn’t say that I’m a travel novelist but rather a novelist who travels – and who uses travel as a background for finding stories of places."
- "The amount of hassle involved in travel can be overwhelming."
- "Death is an endless night so awful to contemplate that it can make us love life and value it with such passion that it may be the ultimate cause of all joy and all art."

- "An artist has no home in Europe except in Paris."― Friedrich Nietzsche
- "The wicked leader is he who the people despise. The good leader is he who the people revere. The great leader is he who the people say, ‘We did it ourselves.’"― Lao Tzu
