Sailing round the world in a dirty gondola oh, to be back in the land of Coca-Cola!

Travel Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Travel

1.
Worth seeing? Yes; but not worth going to see.
Johnson, Samuel

2.
Using a camera appeases the anxiety which the work-driven feel about not working when they are on vacation and supposed to be having fun. They have something to do that is like a friendly imitation of work: they can take pictures.
Sontag, Susan

3.
I never travel without my diary. One should always have something sensational to read on the train.
Wilde, Oscar

4.
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

5.
Most travel is best of all in the anticipation or the remembering; the reality has more to do with losing your luggage.
Nadelson, Regina

6.
To be a tourist is to escape accountability. Errors and failings don't cling to you the way they do back home. You're able to drift across continents and languages, suspending the operation of sound thought. Tourism is the march of stupidity. You're expected to be stupid. The entire mechanism of the host country is geared to travelers acting stupidly. You walk around dazed, squinting into fold-out maps. You don't know how to talk to people, how to get anywhere, what the money means, what time it is, what to eat or how to eat it. Being stupid is the pattern, the level and the norm. You can exist on this level for weeks and months without reprimand or dire consequence. Together with thousands, you are granted immunities and broad freedoms. You are an army of fools, wearing bright polyesters, riding camels, taking pictures of each other, haggard, dysenteric, thirsty. There is nothing to think about but the next shapeless event.
Delillo, Don

7.
The true traveler is he who goes on foot, and even then, he sits down a lot of the time.
Colette

8.
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

9.
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

10.
In the middle ages people were tourists because of their religion, whereas now they are tourists because tourism is their religion.
Runcie, Robert

11.
If my ship sails from sight, it doesn't mean my journey ends, it simply means the river bends.
Powell, John Enoch

12.
When I was very young and the urge to be someplace was on me, I was assured by mature people that maturity would cure this itch. When years described me as mature, the remedy prescribed was middle age. In middle age I was assured that greater age would calm my fever and now that I am fifty-eight perhaps senility will do the job. Nothing has worked. In other words, I don't improve, in further words, once a bum always a bum. I fear the disease is incurable.
Steinbeck, John

13.
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

14.
I would like to spend my whole life traveling, if I could borrow another life to spend at home.
Hazlitt, William

15.
When one realizes that his life is worthless he either commits suicide or travels.
Dahlberg, Edward

16.
Every year it takes less time to fly across the Atlantic and more time to drive to the office.

17.
The country of the tourist pamphlet always is another country, an embarrassing abstraction of the desirable that, thank God, does not exist on this planet, where there are always ants and bad smells and empty Coca-Cola bottles to keep the grubby finger-print of reality upon the beautiful.
Gordimer, Nadine

18.
Does this boat go to Europe, France?
Loos, Anita

19.
A man should ever be ready booted to take his journey.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

20.
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

21.
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

22.
Before he sets out, the traveler must possess fixed interests and facilities to be served by travel.
George Santayana

23.
Writing and travel broaden your ass if not your mind and I like to write standing up.
Hemingway, Ernest

24.
There is no looking at a building here after seeing Italy.
Burney, Fanny

25.
Travel is glamorous only in retrospect.
Theroux, Paul

26.
Travel is only glamorous in retrospect.
Paul Theroux

27.
The average tourist wants to go to places where there are no tourists.
Ewing, Sam

28.
You perceive I generalize with intrepidity from single instances. It is the tourist's custom.
Twain, Mark

29.
Travel only with thy equals or thy betters; if there are none, travel alone.
The Dhammapada

30.
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

31.
For the perfect idler, for the passionate observer it becomes an immense source of enjoyment to establish his dwelling in the throng, in the ebb and flow, the bustle, the fleeting and the infinite. To be away from home and yet to feel at home anywhere; to see the world, to be at the very center of the world, and yet to be unseen of the world, such are some of the minor pleasures of those independent, intense and impartial spirits, who do not lend themselves easily to linguistic definitions. The observer is a prince enjoying his incognito wherever he goes.
Baudelaire, Charles

32.
I am leaving the town to the invaders: increasingly numerous, mediocre, dirty, badly behaved, shameless tourists.
Bardot, Brigitte

33.
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

34.
Sailing round the world in a dirty gondola oh, to be back in the land of Coca-Cola!
Dylan, Bob

35.
The travel writer seeks the world we have lost --the lost valleys of the imagination.
Cockburn, Alexander

36.
We travelers are in very hard circumstances. If we say nothing but what has been said before us, we are dull and have observed nothing. If we tell anything new, we are laughed at as fabulous and romantic.
Montagu, Lady Mary Wortley

37.
Traveling makes a man wiser, but less happy.
Jefferson, Thomas

38.
Travel is a fools paradise.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

39.
Travelling is like flirting with life. It's like saying, I would stay and love you, but I have to go; this is my station.
Teran, Lisa St. Aubin De

40.
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

41.
Travelers are like poets. They are mostly an angry race.
Burton, Sir Richard

42.
Without stirring abroad, one can know the whole world; Without looking out of the window one can see the way of heaven. The further one goes the less one knows.
Lao-Tzu

43.
Man is flying too fast for a world that is round. Soon he will catch up with himself in a great rear end collision.
Thurber, James

44.
Inter-railers are the ambulatory equivalent of Macdonald's, walking testimony to the erosion of French culture.
Thompson, Alice

45.
I am not much an advocate for traveling, and I observe that men run away to other countries because they are not good in their own, and run back to their own because they pass for nothing in the new places. For the most part, only the light characters travel. Who are you that have no task to keep you at home?
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

46.
The personal appropriation of clich?s is a condition for the spread of cultural tourism.
Daney, Serge

47.
He who is only a traveler learns things at second-hand and by the halves, and is poor authority. We are most interested when science reports what those men already know practically or instinctively, for that alone is a true humanity, or account of human experience.
Thoreau, Henry David

48.
An involuntary return to the point of departure is, without doubt, the most disturbing of all journeys.
Sinclair, Iain

49.
My favorite thing is to go where I have never gone.
Arbus, Diane

50.
To travel is to discover that everyone is wrong about other countries.
Huxley, Aldous
