Christopher Isherwood Quotes

And At This Very Moment, Like A Miracle, The Rail-bus Appeared. We Waved Our Arms Frantically, Hardly Daring To Hope That It Would Stop. It Did Stop. We Scrambled Thankfully On Board.
That Is The Irony Of Travel. You Spend Your Boyhood Dreaming Of A Magic, Impossibly Distant Day When You Will Cross The Equator, When Your Eyes Will Behold Quito. And Then, In The Slow Prosaic Process Of Life, That Day Undramatically Dawns - And Finds You Sleepy, Hungry And Dull. The Equator Is Just Another Valley; You Aren't Sure Which And You Don't Much Care. Quito Is Just Another Railroad Station, With Fuss About Baggage And Taxis And Tips. And The Only Comforting Reality, Amidst All This Picturesque Noisy Strangeness, Is To Find A Clean Pension Run By Czech Refugees And Sit Down In A Cozy Central European Parlor To A Lunch Of Well-cooked Wiener Schnitzel.
