" "But above all, silence is the dissipation of our language. ... In the silence of a walk, when you end up losing the use of words because by then you are doing nothing but walk, ... in that silence you hear better, because you are finally hearing what has no vocation to be retranslated, recoded, reformatted.

La marche, on n’a rien trouvé de mieux pour aller plus lentement. Pour marcher, il faut d’abord deux jambes. Le reste est vain. Aller plus vite ? Alors, ne marchez pas, faites autre chose : roulez, glissez, volez. Ne marchez pas. Et puis, marchant, il n’y a qu’une performance qui compte : l’intensité du ciel, l’éclat des paysages. Marcher n’est pas un sport.
Mais une fois debout, l’homme ne tient pas en place.
Il y a le silence des petits matins. Il faut partir très tôt en automne quand l’étape est longue. Tout est violet dehors, la lumière rampe sous les feuilles jaunes et rouges. C’est un silence attentif. On marche doucement au milieu des grands arbres sombres, encore enveloppés d’une légère nuit bleue. On a presque peur de réveiller. Tout chuchote faiblement.

Walking is the best way to go more slowly than any other method that has ever been found. To walk, you need to start with two legs. The rest is optional. If you want to go faster, then don’t walk, do something else: drive, slide or fly. Don’t walk. And when you are walking, there is only one sort of performance that counts: the brilliance of the sky, the splendour of the landscape. Walking is not a sport.
Once on his feet, though, man does not stay where he is.
