"In a crisis, the man worth his salt is the man who meets the needs of the situation in whatever way is necessary."

Previous Quote

A national crisis, a political convulsion, is an opportunity, a gift to the traveler. Nothing is more revealing of a place to a stranger than trouble. Even if a crisis is incomprehensible, as it usually is, it lends drama to the day and transforms the traveler into an eye witness.

— Paul Theroux
