One might think, for example, that
one cannot claim that one is from another country
other than where one was born. Identity is not as
simple as that. Identity cannot be calculated by a
computer with sufficient background and demographic
information. Identity is formed and collected over a
lifetime, and what goes in and what doesn’t is decided
largely based on feelings. Where one sees connections
to others, places, and objects, one identifies.

The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page.

The real voyage of discovery is not in discovering new lands but in seeing with new eyes.
- Marcel Proust
Traveling in the company of those we love is home in motion.
- James Henry Leigh Hunt
The higher the mountains, the more understandable is the glory of Him who made them and who holds them in his hand.
- Francis Schaeffer
Now the LORD said to Abram,
"Go forth from your country,
And from your relatives
And from your father's house,
To the land which I will show you."
- Genesis 12:1
