The pleasure of walking is not confined to one perfect route because attention and openness allow value to emerge from whichever road is actually taken.

Winter Sunshine, essay “The Exhilarations of the Road.” The sentence follows Burroughs’s comparison of winter walks in different directions and precedes his claim that all roads lead toward the walker’s sought-for Jerusalem.
