So for my first entry on this blog, let me share this different quotes on travelling....
"For my part, I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel's sake. The great affair is to move; to feel the needs and hitches of our life more nearly; to come down off this feather-bed of civilization, and find the globe granite underfoot and strewn with cutting flints." -Robert Louis Stevenson
"If you come to a fork in the road, take it." -Yogi Berra
"Clay lies still, but blood's a rover; Breath's aware that will not keep. Up, lad: when the journey's over then there'll be time enough to sleep." -A.E. Housman 1859-1936: A Shropshire Lad
"A good traveller has no fixed plan and is not intent on arriving." -Lao Tzu
"Tourists don't know where they've been, travellers 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
"The use of travelling is to regulate imagination by reality.. -Samuel Johnson
"Your true traveller finds boredom rather agreeable than painful. It is the symbol of his liberty-his excessive freedom. He accepts his boredom, when it comes, not merely philosophically, but almost with pleasure." -Aldous Huxley
"The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeing new landscapes, but in having new eyes." -Marcel Proust
"I am going away with him to an unknown country where I shall have no past and no name, and where I shall be born again with a new face and an untried heart." -Colette
" the open road is a beckoning, a strangeness, a place where a man can lose himself." -William Least Heat Moon (William Trogdon)
A good holiday is one that is spent among people whose notions of time are vaguer than yours." -J. B. Priestley
"I have found out that there ain't no surer way to find out whether you like people or hate them than to travel with them." -Mark Twain
"He who does not travel does not know the value of men." -Moorish proverb
"The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart." -Helen Keller
"Our Nature lies in movement; complete calm is death." -Pascal, Pensées
"Stripped of your ordinary surroundings, your friends, your daily routines, your refrigerator full of food, your closet full of clothes - with all this taken away, you are forced into direct experience. Such direct experience inevitably makes you aware of who it is that is having the experience. That's not always comfortable, but it is always invigorating." -Michael Crichton
