Kindle Notes & Highlights
I shall satiate my ardent curiosity with the sight of a part of the world never before visited, and may tread a land never before imprinted by the foot of man.
nothing contributes so much to tranquillize the mind as a steady purpose—a point on which the soul may fix its intellectual eye.
there is a love for the marvellous, a belief in the marvellous, intertwined in all my projects, which hurries me out of the common pathways of men, even to the wild sea and unvisited regions I am about to explore.
