About This Quote
While speaking about Jules Verne's "Around the World in 80 Days", Ryan Holiday said, "Verne wrote about this trip to marvel at the speed of his protagonist. But he also wrote about the sad reality that most humans are not so lucky. This hero's heroics are not really demonstrated by superhuman speed but by his power to endure these terrible circumstances."
