~ A good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving. ~ ~ Half the fun of the travel is the esthetic of lostness. ~ ~ Often while traveling with a camera we arrive just as the sun slips over the horizon of a moment, too late to expose film, only time enough to expose our hearts ~ ~ Lovers of air travel find it exhilarating to hang poised between the illusion of immortality and the fact of death. ~ ~ 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. ~ ~ Sri Lanka long has been described as a paradise by travellers. ~ ~ Nothing travels faster than the speed of light, with the possible exception of bad news, which obeys its own set of laws. ~ ~ You may not ever travel to Maine to see the Furbish lousewort. But the weeds in any patch of natural vegetation issue the same challenge. We have survived, say the weeds, since the Cretaceous. Man is a mere novice in evolution compared with us. He hasn't yet learnt the secret of the weeds: how to create fail-safe communities. ~ ~ I have a low opinion of books; they are but piles of stones set up to show travelers where other minds have been, or at best smoke signals to call attention... One day's exposure to mountains is better than a cart load of books. ~ ~ We must go beyond textbooks, go out into the bypaths and intruded depths of the wilderness and travel and explore and tell the world the glories of our journey. ~ ~ We've traveled too far, and our momentum has taken over; we move idly towards eternity, without possibility of reprieve or hope of explanation ~ ~ Most travel is best of all in the anticipation or the remembering; the reality has more to do with losing your luggage. ~ ~ Travel is ninety per cent anticipation and ten per cent recollection. ~ ~ Triumphs without difficulties are empty. Indeed; it is difficulties that make the triumph. It is no feat to travel the smooth road. ~ ~ The undiscovered country form whose born no traveler returns. ~ ~ And I, I took the road less traveled by. I was using a GPS system. ~ ~ [Travel seems] not just a way of having a good time, but something that every self-respecting citizen ought to undertake, like a high-fiber diet, say, or a deodorant. ~ ~ “The mere fact of an undiscovered restaurant, in a city where gourmands travel in ravening packs, creates an excitement unrelated to the quality of the cuisine.” ~ ~ Greater personal choice, individually tailored services, stronger local accountability, greater efficiency - these are all central to the new direction of travel we have set for our public services. ~ ~ The mere fact of an undiscovered restaurant, in a city where gourmands travel in ravening packs, creates an excitement unrelated to the quality of the cuisine. ~ ~ 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. ~ ~ A modern democracy is a tyranny whose borders are undefined; one discovers how far one can go only by traveling in a straight line until one is stopped. ~ ~ Traveling makes a man wiser, but less happy. ~ ~ My writing is a combination of three elements. The first is travel: not travel like a tourist, but travel as exploration. The second is reading literature on the subject. The third is reflection. ~ ~ The traveler was active; he went strenuously in search of people, of adventure, of experience. The tourist is passive; he expects interesting things to happen to him. He goes "sight-seeing." ~ ~ Travel and society polish one, but a rolling stone gathers no moss, and a little moss is a good thing on a man. ~ ~ Travelers are like poets. They are mostly an angry race. ~ ~ 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. ~ ~ The travel writer seeks the world we have lost --the lost valleys of the imagination. ~ ~ When one realizes that his life is worthless he either commits suicide or travels. ~ |
