A nomad I will remain for life, in love with distant and uncharted places. Isabelle Eberhardt
A subject to which few intellectuals ever give a thought is the right to be a vagrant, the freedom to wander. Yet vagrancy is a deliverance, and life on the open road is the essence of freedom. To have the courage to smash the chains with which modern life has weighted us (under the pretext that it was offering us more liberty), then to take up the symbolic stick and bundle and get out. Isabelle Eberhardt
Now more than ever do I realize that I will never be content with a sedentary life, that I will always be haunted by thoughts of a sun-drenched elsewhere. Isabelle Eberhardt

Isabelle Eberhardt
Isabelle Eberhardt quote: "I am not afraid of death, but would not want to die in some..."
I am not afraid of death, but would not want to die in some obscure or pointless way. Isabelle Eberhardt
Isabelle Eberhardt quote: "We are, all of us, poor wretches, and those who prefer not to..."
We are, all of us, poor wretches, and those who prefer not to understand this are even worse off than the rest of us. Isabelle Eberhardt
