No one realizes how beautiful it is to travel until he comes home and
rests his head on his old, familiar pillow.
(Lin Yutang)
The traveler sees what he sees, the tourist sees what he has come to
see.
(Gilbert K. Chesterton)
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
(Confucius)
You lose sight of things... and when you travel, everything balances
out.
(Darana Gidel)
Never go on trips with anyone you do not love.
(Ernest Hemingway)
To travel is to take a journey into yourself.
(Dena Kaye)
Against my will, in the course of my travels, the belief that everything
worth knowing was known at Cambridge gradually wore off. In this respect
my travels were very useful to me.
(Bertrand Russell)
Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all
peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that
if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends.
(Maya Angelou)
The worst thing about being a tourist is having other tourists recognize
you as a tourist.
(Russell Baker)
The traveler was active; he went strenuously in search of people, of
adventure, of experience. The tourist is passive; he expects interesting
things happen to him. He goes 'sight-seeing'.
(Daniel J. Boorstin)
I am so convinced of advantages of looking at mankind instead of reading
about them, and of the bitter effect of staying at home with all the narrow
prejudices of an Islander, that I think there should be a law amongst
us to set our young men abroad for a term among the few allies our wars
have left us.
(Lord Byron)
The whole object of travel is not to set foot on foreign land; it is
at last to set foot on one's own country as a foreign land.
(G. K. Cheston)
Travelers never think that THEY are the foreigners.
(Mason Cooley)
Your true traveler finds boredom rather agreeable than painful. It is
the symbol of his liberty - his excessive freedom. He accepts his boredom,
when it comes, not merely philosophically, but almost with pleasure.
(Aldous Huxley)
If we are always arriving and departing, it is also true that we are
eternally anchored. One's destination is never a place but rather a new
way of looking at things.
(Henry Miller)
A journey is like a marriage. The certain way to be wrong is to think
you control it.
(John Steinbeck)
For my part, I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel's
sake. The great affair is to move.
(Robert Louis Stevenson)
I have found that there ain't no surer way to find out whether you like
people or hate them than to travel with them.
(Mark Twain)
Love doesn't make the world go round. Love is what makes the ride worthwhile.
