Paul misattributed the quote below to Hemingway.
“Estraven stood there in harness beside me looking at that magnificent and unspeakable desolation. “I’m glad I have lived to see this,” he said.
I felt as he did. It is good to have an end to journey towards; but it is the journey that matters, in the end.”
Quoted from Hunter: The Strange and Savage Life of Hunter S. Thompson by E. Jean Carroll
