QUOTES ON TRAVEL

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.

FRANCIS BACON, Essays

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
