“You will never reach your destination if you stop and throw stones at every dog that barks.”

“You, the Poles, have a funny nature. When the people going along the road are attacked by a dog with its insistent and noisy barking, you immediately feel like jumping off the vehicle, standing on all fours and starting to bark back at it. We, in the Vilnius region, let the dog bark because that is what its canine nature is like but we do not stop out journey because of its canine barking and without any war against dogs we calmly continue our journey until we reach our destination. It seems that you care more about barking more than the dog does and about winning the war with any lousy puppy than about reaching the destination quickly.”

“Never throw stones if you think they're going to come back and hit you.”

“The experiences are so innumerable and varied, that the journey appears to be interminable and the Destination is ever out of sight. But the wonder of it is, when at last you reach your Destination you find that you had never travelled at all! It was a journey from here to Here.”

“Reaching your destination is more important than the direction and speed at which you travel.”

“A story is like a moving train: no matter where you hop onboard, you are bound to reach your destination sooner or later.”

“Whatever level you reach, getting better, never stops.”

“Sticks and stones may break your bones, but Chinese throwing stars get you a dozen stitches.”

“Dogs feel very strongly that they should always go with you in the car, in case the need should arise for them to bark violently at nothing right in your ear.”
