The Mutuality of Movement
by: Doreen Massey
"What is interesting is the desire that this ambition evinces, and also the lack of acknowledgment of the importance of the journey itself, and not just the arrival." p75
"On the other hand, the notion that distance (and thus the journey) is only unwelcome friction displays a desire to transcend our earthboundness, to dematerialize into that virtual world of instantaneous communication that allows us to escape the friction of intervening encounters- precisely that element of surprise, the event of unexpected interaction, and thus the need to negotiate, that is inherent to space." p75
