Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts.
MARK TWAIN, Innocents Abroad
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, "Passports to Understanding"
He that travelleth into a country before he hath some entrance into the language, goeth to school, and not to travel.
No matter how far we travel, the memories will follow in the baggage car.
AUGUST STRINDBERG, Miss Julie
I cannot rest from travel; I will drink life to the lees.
ALFRED, LORD TENNYSON, Ulysses
Peculiar travel suggestions are dancing lessons from God.
KURT VONNEGUT, JR., Cat's Cradle
Travel is not the time to break in new shoes.
LYNNE CHRISTEN, Travel Wisdom
The gulls who scorn perfection for the sake of travel go nowhere, slowly. Those who put aside travel for the sake of perfection go anywhere, instantly.
RICHARD BACH, Jonathan Livingston Seagull
The World is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page.
ST. AUGUSTINE, 20,000 Quips and Quotes
Tourism is sin, and travel on foot virtue.
WERNER HERZOG, Minnesota Declaration
Try and travel with the eyes of the spirit wide open, and not too much factual information. To tune in, without reverence, idly -- but with real inward attention. It is to be had for the feeling, that mysterious sense of rapport, of identity with the ground. You can extract the essence of a place once you know how. If you just get as still as a needle you'll be there.
LAWRENCE DURRELL, Lawrence Durrell Travel Reader
Strong and content I travel the open road.
WALT WHITMAN, Song of the Open Road
