  • To be free one needs constant and unrelenting vigilance over one's weaknesses. A vigilance which requires a moral energy most of us are incapable of manufacturing.

    Robyn Davidson (1992). “From Alice to Ocean: Alone Across the Outback”, Addison Wesley Publishing Company
  • I just don't see myself as a travel writer. I can't. I don't.

    Clothes   Skins   Naked  
    Robyn Davidson (2012). “Tracks”, p.209, A&C Black
