"What
sets a canoeing expedition apart is that it purifies you more rapidly
and inescapably than any other travel. Travel a thousand miles by train
and you are a brute; pedal five hundred on a bicycle and you remain
basically a bourgeois; paddle a hundred in a canoe and you are already a
child of nature."
Pierre Elliott Trudeau
It's probably best if you read it in a French-Canadian accent though...
