For years, I meant to read 'Arabian Sands', Wilfred Thesiger's account of two punishing camel journeys during the late 1940s across Southern Arabia's Empty Quarter. Now that I have, I can sheepishly join the chorus of those who revere the book as one of the half dozen greatest works of modern English travel writing.

Cinema is the most beautiful fraud in the world...There's a silly notion that failure's not an option...Any time women come together with a collective...I don't think a prostitute is more moral than a wife...Don't break that remote...First they ignore you, then they laugh at you...
