Motivational Quotes

Travel

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
Travel Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Travel

1.
The routines of tourism are even more monotonous than those of daily life.
Cooley, Mason

2.
Writing and travel broaden your ass if not your mind and I like to write standing up.
Hemingway, Ernest

3.
The modern American tourist now fills his experience with pseudo-events. He has come to expect both more strangeness and more familiarity than the world naturally offers. He has come to believe that he can have a lifetime of adventure in two weeks and all the thrills of risking his life without any real risk at all.
Boorstin, Daniel J.

4.
An involuntary return to the point of departure is, without doubt, the most disturbing of all journeys.
Sinclair, Iain

5.
Those that say you can't take it with you never saw a car packed for a vacation trip.

6.
Travelers are like poets. They are mostly an angry race.
Burton, Sir Richard

7.
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

8.
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

9.
There is no looking at a building here after seeing Italy.
Burney, Fanny

10.
Sailing round the world in a dirty gondola oh, to be back in the land of Coca-Cola!
Dylan, Bob

11.
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

12.
A journey is like marriage. The certain way to be wrong is to think you control it.
Steinbeck, John

13.
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

14.
I swims in the Tagus all across at once, and I rides on an ass or a mule, and swears Portuguese, and have got a diarrhea and bites from the mosquitoes. But what of that? Comfort must not be expected by folks that go a pleasuring.
Byron, Lord

15.
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

16.
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

17.
Traveling is a fool's paradise. Our first journeys discover to us the indifference of places.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

18.
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

19.
In traveling, a man must carry knowledge with him, if he would bring home knowledge.
Johnson, Samuel

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.
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.
Like all great travelers, I have seen more than I remember and remember more than I have seen.
Disraeli, Benjamin

23.
I would like to spend my whole life traveling, if I could borrow another life to spend at home.
Hazlitt, William

24.
Every year it takes less time to fly across the Atlantic and more time to drive to the office.

25.
The personal appropriation of clich?s is a condition for the spread of cultural tourism.
Daney, Serge

26.
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

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

29.
The alternative to a vacation is to stay home and tip every third person you see.

30.
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

31.
The map is not the territory.
Korzybski, Alfred

32.
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

33.
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

34.
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

35.
In America there are two classes of travel - first class, and with children.
Benchley, Robert

36.
The time to enjoy a European tour is about three weeks after you unpack.
Ade, George

37.
Visits always give pleasure; if not the arrival, the departure.
Proverb

38.
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

39.
If my ship sails from sight, it doesn't mean my journey ends, it simply means the river bends.
Powell, John Enoch

40.
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

41.
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

42.
Traveling makes a man wiser, but less happy.
Jefferson, Thomas

43.
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.
Stevenson, Robert Louis

44.
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

45.
If you look like your passport picture you're too ill to travel.
Kommen, Will

46.
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

47.
Travel makes a wise man better, and a fool worse
Fuller, Thomas

48.
Travel is only glamorous in retrospect.
Paul Theroux

49.
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.

50.
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
