Quote #4
The feeling swept over me that I had truly left Darlington Hall behind, and I must confess I did feel a slight sense of alarm—a sense aggravated by the feeling that I was perhaps not on the correct road at all, but speeding off in totally the wrong direction into a wilderness. (2.4)
The West Country is hardly wilderness, but Stevens may as well be exploring Antarctica given how little exposure he's had to the world outside Darlington Hall and its immediate vicinity. This is exactly the kind of discomfiting experience he needs to get a new perspective on his own life.
Quote #5
And I believe it was then, looking at that view, that I began for the first time to adopt a frame of mind appropriate for the journey before me. (2.16)
Often in the novel, stopping to enjoy the "view" is an opportunity for Stevens to get a new "view" on his own life.
Quote #6
But I see I am becoming preoccupied with these memories […] I know I shall greatly regret it later if I allow myself to become unduly diverted. (3.155)
Early in the novel, Stevens tries hard to be a good tourist and appreciate the countryside, but he keeps getting distracted by his memories.
