Ray Bradbury
Image
We travel for romance, we travel for architecture, and we travel to be lost.

My goal is to entertain myself and others.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Every morning I jump out of bed and step on a landmine. The landmine is me. After the explosion, I spent the rest of the day putting the pieces together.
