Best Quotes about Travel
I am so convinced of the advantages of looking at mankind instead of reading about them, and of the bitter effects of staying at home with all the narrow prejudices of an Islander, that I think there should be a law amongst us to set our young men abroad for a term among the few allies our wars have left us.
Byron, Lord
The tourist who moves about to see and hear and open himself to all the influences of the places which condense centuries of human greatness is only a man in search of excellence.
Lerner, Max
Sailing round the world in a dirty gondola oh, to be back in the land of Coca-Cola!
Dylan, Bob
You perceive I generalize with intrepidity from single instances. It is the tourist's custom.
Twain, Mark
An involuntary return to the point of departure is, without doubt, the most disturbing of all journeys.
Sinclair, Iain
It would be nice to travel if you knew where you were going and where you would live at the end or do we ever know, do we ever live where we live, we're always in other places, lost, like sheep.
Frame, Janet
The American arrives in Paris with a few French phrases he has culled from a conversational guide or picked up from a friend who owns a beret.
Allen, Fred A.
Before he sets out, the traveler must possess fixed interests and facilities to be served by travel.
George Santayana
Visits always give pleasure; if not the arrival, the departure.
Proverb
A man travels the world over in search of what he needs and returns home to find it.
George Moore
The map is not the territory.
Korzybski, Alfred
Should we have stayed at home and thought of here? Where should we be today? Is it right to be watching strangers in a play in this strangest of theatres?
Bishop, Elisabeth
Our instructed vagrancy, which has hardly time to linger by the hedgerows, but runs away early to the tropics, and is at home with palms and banyans --which is nourished on books of travel, and stretches the theatre of its imagination to the Zambesi.
Eliot, George
Traveling is like gambling: it is always connected with winning and losing, and generally where it is least expected we receive, more or less than what we hoped for.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
Travel makes a wise man better, and a fool worse
Fuller, Thomas
Travelers are like poets. They are mostly an angry race.
Burton, Sir Richard
Of journeying the benefits are many: the freshness it bringeth to the heart, the seeing and hearing of marvelous things, the delight of beholding new cities, the meeting of unknown friends, and the learning of high manners.
Gulistan, Sadi
Comes over one an absolute necessity to move. And what is more, to move in some particular direction. A double necessity then: to get on the move, and to know whither.
Lawrence, D. H.
The travel writer seeks the world we have lost --the lost valleys of the imagination.
Cockburn, Alexander
The alternative to a vacation is to stay home and tip every third person you see.
The bigger the summer vacation the harder the fall.
Traveling is not just seeing the new; it is also leaving behind. Not just opening doors; also closing them behind you, never to return. But the place you have left forever is always there for you to see whenever you shut your eyes.
Myrdal, Jan
Certainly, travel is more than the seeing of sights; it is a change that goes on, deep and permanent, in the ideas of living.
Miriam Beard
I was disappointed in Niagara -- most people must be disappointed in Niagara. Every American bride is taken there, and the sight of the stupendous waterfall must be one of the earliest, if not the keenest, disappointments in American married life.
Wilde, Oscar
Travel and society polish one, but a rolling stone gathers no moss, and a little moss is a good thing on a man.
Burroughs, John
The idea that seeing life means going from place to place and doing a great variety of obvious things is an illusion natural to dull minds.
Cooley, Charles Horton
A route differs from a road not only because it is solely intended for vehicles, but also because it is merely a line that connects one point with another. A route has no meaning in itself; its meaning derives entirely from the two points that it connects. A road is a tribute to space. Every stretch of road has meaning in itself and invites us to stop. A route is the triumphant devaluation of space, which thanks to it has been reduced to a mere obstacle to human movement and a waste of time.
Kundera, Milan
No man should travel until he has learned the language of the country he visits. Otherwise he voluntarily makes himself a great baby-so helpless and so ridiculous.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
To travel is to discover that everyone is wrong about other countries.
Huxley, Aldous
People commonly travel the world over to see rivers and mountains, new stars, garish birds, freak fish, grotesque breeds of human; they fall into an animal stupor that gapes at existence and they think they have seen something.
Kierkegaard, SĀ°ren
Thanks to the Interstate Highway System, it is now possible to travel from coast to coast without seeing anything.
Charles Kuralt
The personal appropriation of clich?s is a condition for the spread of cultural tourism.
Daney, Serge
The routines of tourism are even more monotonous than those of daily life.
Cooley, Mason
My favorite thing is to go where I have never gone.
Arbus, Diane
Writing and travel broaden your ass if not your mind and I like to write standing up.
Hemingway, Ernest
The traveler, however virginal and enthusiastic, does not enjoy an unbroken ecstasy. He has periods of gloom, periods when he asks himself the object of all these exertions, and puts the question whether or not he is really experiencing pleasure. At such times he suspects that he is not seeing the right things, that the characteristic, the right aspects of these strange scenes are escaping him. He looks forward dully to the days of his holiday yet to pass, and wonders how he will dispose of them. He is disgusted because his money is not more, his command of the language so slight, and his capacity for enjoyment so limited.
Bennett, Arnold
If my ship sails from sight, it doesn't mean my journey ends, it simply means the river bends.
Powell, John Enoch
The saying "Getting there is half the fun" became obsolete with the advent of commercial airlines.
Henry J. Tillman
As for pictures and museums, that don't trouble me. The worst of going abroad is that you've always got to look at things of that sort. To have to do it at home would be beyond a joke.
Oliphant, Margaret
It is better to travel hopefully than to arrive.
Stevenson, Robert Louis
Journeys, like artists, are born and not made. A thousand differing circumstances contribute to them, few of them willed or determined by the will --whatever we may think.
Durrell, Lawrence
I am leaving the town to the invaders: increasingly numerous, mediocre, dirty, badly behaved, shameless tourists.
Bardot, Brigitte
Travel is glamorous only in retrospect.
Theroux, Paul
The important thing about travel in foreign lands is that it breaks the speech habits and makes you blab less, and breaks the habitual space-feeling because of different village plans and different landscapes. It is less important that there are different mores, for you counteract these with your own reaction-formations.
Goodman, Paul
Those that say you can't take it with you never saw a car packed for a vacation trip.
Life, as the most ancient of all metaphors insists, is a journey; and the travel book, in its deceptive simulation of the journey's fits and starts, rehearses life's own fragmentation. More even than the novel, it embraces the contingency of things.
Raban, Jonathan
He travels best that knows when to return. Middleton For my part, I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel's sake. The great affair is to move.
Stevenson, Robert Louis
Traveling makes a man wiser, but less happy.
Jefferson, Thomas
Travel only with thy equals or thy betters; if there are none, travel alone.
The Dhammapada
A wise traveler never depreciates their own country.
Goldoni, Carlo
