Place de Pyramides, Paris (Daniel Frémiet)
“Si je n’y suis [en la grâce de Dieu], Dieu m’y mette; et, si j’y suis, Dieu m’y tienne! Je serais le plus dolente de monde si je savais ne pas être en la grâce de Dieu”
— Jeanne d’Arc

I am often tired of myself and I have a notion that by travel I can add to my personality and so change myself a little. I do not bring back from a journey quite the same self that I took.
W. Somerset Maugham (1874–1965)
English playwright, novelist, and short story writer
The Gentleman in the Parlour (1930)
