Irving Layton Quotes

On the Road that I have taken, one day walking I awaken, amazed to see where I've come, where I'm going, where I'm from.

The longest journey begins with a single step, not with the turn of an ignition key. That’s the best thing about walking, the journey itself.

Wanderer, your footsteps are the road, and nothing more; wanderer, there is no road, the road is made by walking. By walking one makes the road, and upon glancing behind one sees the path that never will be trod again. Wanderer, there is no road-- Only wakes upon the sea. Caminante, son tus huellas el camino, y nada más; caminante, no hay camino, se hace camino al andar. Al andar se hace camino, y al volver la vista atrás se ve la senda que nunca se ha de volver a pisar. Caminante, no hay camino, sino estelas en la mar.
