Don't look back
A new day is breakin'
It's been too long since I felt this way
I don't mind where I get taken
The road is callin'
Today is the day
--Boston, "Don't Look Back".

If there was a better way to go then it would find me
I can't help it, the road just rolls out behind me
Be kind to me, or treat me mean
I'll make the most of it, I'm an extraordinary machine
-- Fiona Apple, "Extraordinary Machine"

-- Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell: A Novel by Susanna Clarke.

"Not all those who wander are lost."
-- JRR Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings
