Wallace Stegner Quotes:
Ocupation: Historian
Life: February 18, 1909 - April 13, 1993
Birthday: February 18
Death: April 13
Every book that anyone sets out on is a voyage of discovery that may discover nothing. Any voyager may be lost at sea, like John Cabot. Nobody can teach the geography of the undiscovered. All he can do is encourge the will to explore, plus impress upon the inexperienced a few of the dos and don'ts of voyaging.
