Robyn Davidson Quotes
The Question I'm Most Commonly Asked Is "Why?" A More Pertinent Question Might Be, Why Is It That More People Don't Attempt To Escape The Limitations Imposed Upon Them? If Tracks Has A Message At All, It Is That One Can Be Awake To The Demand For Obedience That Seems Natural Simply Because It Is Familiar. Wherever There Is Pressure To Conform (one Person's Conformity Is Often In The Interests Of Another Person's Power), There Is A Requirement To Resist. Of Course I Did Not Mean That People Should Drop What They Were Doing And Head For The Wilder Places, Certainly Not That They Should Copy What I Did. I Meant That One Can Choose Adventure In The Most Ordinary Of Circumstances. Adventure Of The Mind, Or To Use An Old-fashioned Word, The Spirit.
