Huxley, Aldous

Travel is a fools paradise.

Emerson, Ralph Waldo

Johnson, Samuel

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

Only the traveling is good which reveals to me the value of home and enables me to enjoy it better.

Ade, George

10.

He that travels in theory has no inconveniences; he has shade and sunshine at his disposal, and wherever he alights finds tables of plenty and looks of gaiety. These ideas are indulged till the day of departure arrives, the chaise is called, and the progress of happiness begins. A few miles teach him the fallacies of imagination. The road is dusty, the air is sultry, the horses are sluggish. He longs for the time of dinner that he may eat and rest. The inn is crowded, his orders are neglected, and nothing remains but that he devour in haste what the cook has spoiled, and drive on in quest of better entertainment. He finds at night a more commodious house, but the best is always worse than he expected.

Johnson, Samuel

Most travel is best of all in the anticipation or the remembering; the reality has more to do with losing your luggage.

Nadelson, Regina

14.

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.

15.

Those that say you can't take it with you never saw a car packed for a vacation trip.

Traveling is a fool's paradise. Our first journeys discover to us the indifference of places.

Emerson, Ralph Waldo

18.

Does this boat go to Europe, France?

Loos, Anita

19.

A solitary traveler can sleep from state to state, from day to night, from day to day, in the long womb of its controlled interior. It is the cradle that never stops rocking after the lullaby is over. It is the biggest sleeping tablet in the world, and no one need ever swallow the pill, for it swallows them.

Teran, Lisa St. Aubin De

20.

Traveling, you realize that differences are lost: each city takes to resembling all cities, places exchange their form, order, distances, a shapeless dust cloud invades the continents.

Calvino, Italo

21.

Travel only with thy equals or thy betters; if there are none, travel alone.

The Dhammapada

Runcie, Robert

The use of traveling is to regulate imagination by reality, and instead of thinking how things may be, to see them as they are.

Johnson, Samuel

One of these days in your travels, a guy is going to come up to you and show you a nice brand-new deck of cards on which the seal is not yet broken, and this guy is going to offer to bet you that he can make the Jack of Spades jump out of the deck and squirt cider in your ear. But, son, do not bet this man, for as sure as you are standing there, you are going to end up with an earful of cider.

Runyon, Damon

Colette

26.

The bigger the summer vacation the harder the fall.

27.

If we are always arriving and departing, it is also true that we are eternally anchored. One's destination is never a place but rather a new way of looking at things.

Miller, Henry

28.

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

29.

Travel is glamorous only in retrospect.

Theroux, Paul

30.

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

31.

Being on tour sends me crazy, I drink too much and out comes the John Mcenroe in me.

Hynde, Chrissie

32.

Life is a journey that must be traveled no matter how bad the roads and accommodations.

Goldsmith, Oliver

33.

Your true traveler 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.

Huxley, Aldous

34.

The personal appropriation of clich?s is a condition for the spread of cultural tourism.

Horace

Sinclair, Iain

37.

The routines of tourism are even more monotonous than those of daily life.

Cooley, Mason

38.

Life on board a pleasure steamer violates every moral and physical condition of healthy life except fresh air. It is a guzzling, lounging, gambling, dog's life. The only alternative to excitement is irritability.

Shaw, George Bernard

39.

In traveling, a man must carry knowledge with him, if he would bring home knowledge.

Johnson, Samuel

40.

Old men and far travelers may lie with authority.

41.

Writing and travel broaden your ass if not your mind and I like to write standing up.

Hemingway, Ernest

42.

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

43.

Not so many years ago there was no simpler or more intelligible notion than that of going on a journey. Travel --movement through space --provided the universal metaphor for change. One of the subtle confusions --perhaps one of the secret terrors --of modern life is that we have lost this refuge. No longer do we move through space as we once did.

Boorstin, Daniel J.

Powell, John Enoch

46.

The map is not the territory.

Korzybski, Alfred

47.

I would like to spend my whole life traveling, if I could borrow another life to spend at home.

Hazlitt, William

48.

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.

49.

Traveling makes a man wiser, but less happy.

Jefferson, Thomas

50.

Travel is the most private of pleasures. There is no greater bore than the travel bore. We do not in the least want to hear what he has seen in Hong-Kong.

Sackville-West, Vita
