“I’m no longer a child, and I still want to be, to live with the pirates. Because I want to live forever in wonder. The difference between me as a child and me as an adult is this and only this: when I was a child, I longed to travel into, to live in wonder. Now, I know, as much as I can know anything, that to travel into wonder is to be a wonder. So it matters little whether I travel by plane, by rowboat, or by book.”
