Travel
Quotes - My dream is to walk around the world
“Once
you have traveled, the voyage never ends, but is played out over and over again
in the quietest chambers. The mind can never break off from the journey.”
―
Pat Conroy
“If
you’re twenty-two, physically fit, hungry to learn and be better, I urge you to
travel – as far and as widely as possible. Sleep on floors if you have to. Find
out how other people live and eat and cook. Learn from them – wherever you go.”

People Who Cook
“Those
who know nothing of foreign languages know nothing of their own.”
―
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Maxims and Reflections
“No
man is brave that has never walked a hundred miles. If you want to know the
truth of who you are, walk until not a person knows your name. Travel is the
great leveler, the great teacher, bitter as medicine, crueler than
mirror-glass. A long stretch of road will teach you more about yourself than a
hundred years of quiet.”
―
Patrick Rothfuss
“Self-consciousness
kills communication.”

Rick Steves
“My
dream is to walk around the world. A smallish backpack, all essentials neatly
in place. A camera. A notebook. A traveling paint set. A hat. Good shoes. A
nice pleated (green?) skirt for the occasional seaside hotel afternoon dance.”

“Every
one of a hundred thousand cities around the world had its own special sunset
and it was worth going there, just once, if only to see the sun go down.”
―
Ryu Murakami, Coin Locker Babies
“The
very basic core of a man's living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy
of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no
greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a
new and different sun.”
―
Christopher McCandless
“There
is strange comfort in knowing that no matter what happens today, the Sun will
rise again tomorrow.”
― Aaron
Lauritsen, 100 Days Drive: The Great North American Road Trip
“It
is always sad to leave a place to which one knows one will never return. Such
are the melancolies du voyage: perhaps they are one of the most rewarding
things about traveling.”
―
Gustave Flaubert, Flaubert in Egypt
“Nobody
can discover the world for somebody else. Only when we discover it for
ourselves does it become common ground and a common bond and we cease to be
alone.”
―
Wendell Berry, A Place on Earth
“The
world is a book, and those who don't travel only read one page.”
―

you want to be great, you have to be a leader. You’ve got to listen to me, son.
That’s what we brought you here to do, to be a leader. And you can do it.”
―
Vernon Davis, Playing Ball: Life Lessons from My Journey to the Super Bowl and
Beyond
“Books
are not about passing time. They're about other lives. Other worlds. Far from
wanting time to pass, one just wishes one had more of it. If one wanted to pass
the time one could go to New Zealand.”
―

“I
love to sail forbidden seas, and land on barbarous coasts.”

In
streets I never thought I should revisit
When
I left my body on a distant shore.”

live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty, charm and adventure. There is
no end to the adventures we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open.”
―
Jawaharlal Nehru
“A
journey, after all, neither begins in the instant we set out, nor ends when we
have reached our door step once again. It starts much earlier and is really
never over, because the film of memory continues running on inside of us long
after we have come to a physical standstill. Indeed, there exists something
like a contagion of travel, and the disease is essentially incurable.”
―
Ryszard Kapuściński, Travels with Herodotus
“There
are several ways to react to being lost. One is to panic: this was usually
Valentina's first impulse. Another is to abandon yourself to lostness, to allow
the fact that you've misplaced yourself to change the way you experience the
world.”
―
Audrey Niffenegger, Her Fearful Symmetry
“So
shut up, live, travel, adventure, bless and don't be sorry”
―
