"Above all, do not lose your desire to walk. Every day I walk myself into a state of wellbeing and walk away from every illness; I have walked myself into my best thoughts, and I know of no thought so burdensome that one cannot walk away from it."
– Søren Kierkegaard, Kierkegaard’s Writings, XXV: Letters and Documents, 1847/1978
