More quotes by Wilfred Thesiger
Once again I experienced the longing to share this life, and to be more than a mere spectator.
To me it is always the people rather than the places that matter.
I craved for the past, resented the present, and dreaded the future.
Personally, I would forgo any other comfort to drink clean water.
