Travel

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
Travel Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Travel

1.
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

2.
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

3.
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

4.
Traveling makes a man wiser, but less happy.
Jefferson, Thomas

5.
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

6.
The bigger the summer vacation the harder the fall.

7.
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

8.
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

9.
I have just been all round the world and have formed a very poor opinion of it.
Beecham, Sir Thomas

10.
Travel is ninety percent anticipation and ten percent recollection.
Streeter, Edward

11.
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

12.
Travel is only glamorous in retrospect.
Paul Theroux

13.
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

14.
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

15.
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

16.
Before he sets out, the traveler must possess fixed interests and facilities to be served by travel.
George Santayana

17.
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

18.
The true traveler is he who goes on foot, and even then, he sits down a lot of the time.
Colette

19.
The alternative to a vacation is to stay home and tip every third person you see.

20.
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

21.
In America there are two classes of travel - first class, and with children.
Benchley, Robert

22.
Travel only with thy equals or thy betters; if there are none, travel alone.
The Dhammapada

23.
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

24.
Behold then Septimus Dodge returning to Dodge-town victorious. Not crowned with laurel, it is true, but wreathed in lists of things he has seen and sucked dry. Seen and sucked dry, you know: Venus de Milo, the Rhine or the Coliseum: swallowed like so many clams, and left the shells.
Lawrence, D. H.

25.
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

26.
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

27.
It is better to travel hopefully than to arrive.
Stevenson, Robert Louis

28.
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

29.
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

30.
If it's tourist season, why can't we kill them?

31.
When one realizes that his life is worthless he either commits suicide or travels.
Dahlberg, Edward

32.
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.

33.
Travelers are like poets. They are mostly an angry race.
Burton, Sir Richard

34.
A man travels the world over in search of what he needs and returns home to find it.
George Moore

35.
The saying "Getting there is half the fun" became obsolete with the advent of commercial airlines.
Henry J. Tillman

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

37.
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

38.
My favorite thing is to go where I have never gone.
Arbus, Diane

39.
I never travel without my diary. One should always have something sensational to read on the train.
Wilde, Oscar

40.
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

41.
The map is not the territory.
Korzybski, Alfred

42.
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

43.
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

44.
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.

45.
If my ship sails from sight, it doesn't mean my journey ends, it simply means the river bends.
Powell, John Enoch

46.
Tourism, human circulation considered as consumption is fundamentally nothing more than the leisure of going to see what has become banal.
Debord, Guy

47.
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

48.
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

49.
Sailing round the world in a dirty gondola oh, to be back in the land of Coca-Cola!
Dylan, Bob

50.
Only the traveling is good which reveals to me the value of home and enables me to enjoy it better.
Thoreau, Henry David
