Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us, or we find it not.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson Essays: First Series, "Art" (1841)
I'm usually apprehensive about selective quoting because it can easily be misinterpreted when taken out of context. But I've had this one on my mind for a while now since I saw it at the body image exhibit at the Union.
Travel, metaphorical and geographical, seemed especially relevant given that I'll be going to Denmark soon. I got approved yesterday.
Also, in a few hours, I'm going to model for a drawing class for the first time and I'll be thinking about this quotation.

are you modeling in the nude for the drawing class? I have a friend who does that. I considered it until I realized I couldn't sit still for 2-3hrs.
What are you going to Denmark for?
