The real Arcadia is a lonely, mountainous plateau, overbouldered and strewn with the skulls of sheep slain for vellum and old bitten pinions that tried to be quills. It’s forty rough miles by mule from Athens, a city where there’s a fair, a movie house, cotton candy.”
—Alexander Theroux (b. 1940)

“Travel is glamorous only in retrospect.”
—Paul Theroux (b. 1941)

“Most of the time she had the personality of the back wall of a handball court.”
—Alexander Theroux (b. 1940)
