4. “Traveling is a brutality. It forces you to trust strangers and to lose sight of all that familiar comfort of home and friends. You are constantly off balance. Nothing is yours except the essential things – air, sleep, dreams, the sea, the sky – all things tending towards the eternal or what we imagine of it.”
Cesare Pavese
5. “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

Antoine de Saint-Exupery
“Life is a bridge, cross it but don’t build an house on it.”
Indian Proverb
“The greatest part of life is to go to places you’ve never been before, and to live dangerously.”
Noran Bakrie
“I can’t think of anything that excites a greater sense of childlike wonder than to be in a country where you are ignorant of almost everything. Suddenly you are five years old again. You can’t read anything; you have only the most rudimentary sense of how things work; you can’t even reliably cross a street without endangering your life. Your whole existence becomes a series of interesting guesses.”
Bill Bryson
“The wanderer’s danger is to find comfort.”
William Least Heat-Moon
“The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes.”
Marcel Proust
“You know why you like to travel? Everywhere you go, nothing belongs to you. When you’re home, you’re weighed down by your possessions.”
Thai monk
“Beyond the east the sunrise; Beyond the west the sea
And East and West the Wander-Thirst that will not let me be”
Gerald Gould
“What gives value to travel is fear. It is a fact that, at a certain moment, when we are so far from our own country, we are seized by a vague fear and an instinctive desire to go back to the protection of old habits. I look upon it more as an occasion for testing.”
Albert Camus.
“A journey is best measured in friends, rather than miles.”
Tim Cahill
“There are no foreign lands. It is the traveler only who is foreign.”
Robert Louis Stevenson
“When you travel, remember that a foreign country is not designed to make you comfortable. It is designed to make its own people comfortable.”
Clifton Fadiman
“Adventure is a path. Real adventure – self-determined, self-motivated, often risky – forces you to have firsthand encounters with the world. The world the way it is, not the way you imagine it. Your body will collide with the earth and you will bear witness. In this way you will be compelled to grapple with the limitless kindness and bottomless cruelty of humankind – and perhaps realize that you yourself are capable of both. This will change you. Nothing will ever again be black-and-white.”
Mark Jenkins
“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. Chesterton
“Wandering re-establishes the original harmony which once existed between man and the universe.”
Antole France
“To my mind, the greatest reward and luxury of travel is to be able to experience everyday things as if for the first time, to be in a position in which almost nothing is so familiar it is taken for granted.”
Bill Bryson
“Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Tourists don’t know where they’ve been, travelers don’t know where they’re going.”
Paul Theroux
“To awaken quite alone in a strange town is one of the pleasantest sensations in the world.”
Freya Stark
“When we get out of the glass bottle of our ego and when we escape like the squirrels in the cage of our personality and get into the forest again, we shall shiver with cold and fright. But things will happen to us so that we don’t know ourselves. Cool, unlying life will rush in.”
D. H. Lawrence
“People travel to faraway places to watch, in fascination, the kind of people they ignore at home.”
Dagobert D. Runes
“Our battered suitcases were piled on the sidewalk again; we had longer ways to go. But no matter, the road is life.”
Jack Kerouac
“The use of traveling is to regulate imagination by reality, and instead of thinking how things may be, to see them as they are.”
Samuel Johnson
“I never travel without my diary. One should always have something sensational to read in the train.”
Oscar Wilde
“If you wish to travel far and fast, travel light. Take off all your envies, jealousies, unforgiveness, selfishness and fears.”
Cesare Pavese
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
Mark Twain

Susan Sontag
