The Twenty-one Balloons Quotes

“Half of this story is true and the other half might very well have happened.”
― William Pène du Bois, The Twenty-one Balloons

“The best way of travel, however, if you aren't in any hurry at all, if you don't care where you are going, if you don't like to use your legs, if you don't want to be annoyed at all by any choice of directions, is in a balloon. In a balloon, you can decide only when to start, and usually when to stop. The rest is left entirely to nature.”
― William Pène du Bois, The Twenty-One Balloons
