“…Thus the walker came to see the whole of human history, with its changes and struggles. And to see civilized man with his civility and hypocrisy, filled with malice and envy, as the real brute beast.

To see the social world with its injustice and violence, its inequalities and miseries, and the states with their armies and police forces, as the real jungles. To see social man as filled with rancour, jealousy and resentment.”

A Philosophy of Walking - Frédéric Gros
