    EPIGRAPH: You wanted first of all to show me your travel journals in correct sequence and in so doing to reduce to order all the papers that belong with them, and with my support and assistance to assemble out of these invaluable but muddled leaves and notebooks a whole which we and others might enjoy.

    EPIGRAPH: Sound the depths, to ascertain where you are; observe the visible signs in the atmosphere, to ascertain what weather awaits you. But don't dive to the bottom; you will never reach it. Don't rise in an airship to the ether, that uttermost limit of the Earth; you will never reach it. Everything below is cold and dead; everything above is cold and dead. The warmth of life is only to be found on the surface of the Earth.
    FROM: Letters, (1825), Letter, Sweden
