\u201cFor my part, I travel not\u00a0to go anywhere but to go. I\u00a0travel\u00a0for\u00a0travel\u2019s\u00a0sake. The great affair is to move.\u201d\u00a0\u2015\u00a0Robert Louis Stevenson<\/p>\n
\u201cOnce the travel bug bites there is no known antidote, and I know that I shall be happily infected until the end of my life\u201d\u00a0Michael Palin<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cOnce a year, go someplace you\u2019ve never been before.\u201d \u2014\u00a0Dalai Lama<\/p>\n
\u201cOur battered suitcases were piled on the sidewalk again; we had longer ways to go. But no matter, the road is life\u201d \u2015\u00a0Jack Kerouac<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cTravel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one\u2019s lifetime.\u201d \u2015\u00a0Mark Twain<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cThe real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.\u201d \u2015\u00a0Marcel Proust<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cA good traveler has no fixed plans and is not intent on arriving.\u201d \u2015\u00a0Lao Tzu<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cTravel is the only thing you buy that makes you richer.\u201d \u2013Unknown<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you\u2019re twenty-two, physically fit, hungry to learn and be better, I urge you to travel \u2013 as far and as widely as possible. Sleep on floors if you have to. Find out how other people live and eat and cook. Learn from them \u2013 wherever you go.\u201d \u2015\u00a0Anthony Bourdain<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cDo not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.\u201d -Ralph Waldo Emerson<\/p>\n
Literary Quotes about Traveling<\/h2>\n\u201cI saw in their eyes something I was to see over and over in every part of the nation- a burning desire to go, to move, to get under way, anyplace, away from any Here. They spoke quietly of how they wanted to go someday, to move about, free and unanchored, not toward something but away from something. I saw this look and heard this yearning everywhere in every states I visited. Nearly every American hungers to move.\u201d \u2015\u00a0John Steinbeck, Travels With Charley<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n\u201cSo in America when the sun goes down and I sit on the old broken-down river pier watching the long, long skies over New Jersey and sense all that raw land that rolls in one unbelievable huge bulge over to the West Coast, and all that road going, and all the people dreaming in the immensity of it, and in Iowa I know by now the children must be crying in the land where they let the children cry, and tonight the stars\u2019ll be out, and don\u2019t you know that God is Pooh Bear? the evening star must be drooping and shedding her sparkler dims on the prairie, which is just before the coming of complete night that blesses the earth, darkens all the rivers, cups the peaks and folds the final shore in, and nobody, nobody knows what\u2019s going to happen to anybody besides the forlorn rags of growing old, I think of Dean Moriarty, I even think of Old Dean Moriarty the father we never found, I think of Dean Moriarty.\u201d \u2015\u00a0Jack Kerouac, On the Road<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n\u201cTourists went on holidays while travellers did something else. They travelled.\u201d \u2015\u00a0Alex Garland,\u00a0<\/span>The Beach<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n\u201cPacking up. The nagging worry of departure. Lost keys, unwritten labels, tissue paper lying on the floor. I hate it all. Even now, when I have done so much of it, when I live, as the saying goes, in my boxes. Even to-day, when shutting drawers and flinging wide a hotel wardrobe, or the impersonal shelves of a furnished villa, is a methodical matter of routine, I am aware of sadness, of a sense of loss. Here, I say, we have lived, we have been happy. This has been ours, however brief the time. Though two nights only have been spent beneath a roof, yet we leave something of ourselves behind. Nothing material, not a hair-pin on a dressing-table, not an empty bottle of aspirin tablets, not a handkerchief beneath a pillow, but something indefinable, a moment of our lives, a thought, a mood. This house sheltered us, we spoke, we loved within those walls. That was yesterday. To-day we pass on, we see it no more, and we are different, changed in some infinitesimal way. We can never be quite the same again.\u201d \u2014 Daphne du Maurier, Rebecca<\/em><\/p>\n\u201cAll that’s gold doesn’t glitter,
From the ashes a fireplace shall be woken,
\u2015 J.R.R. Tolkien<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cIn books I have traveled, not only to other worlds, but into my own.\u201d \u2015\u00a0Anna Quindlen<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cThe way I see it, every time a man gets up in the morning he starts his life over. Sure, the bills are there to pay, and the job is there to do, but you don\u2019t have to stay in a pattern. You can always start over, saddle a fresh horse and take another trail.\u201d\u00a0Louis L\u2019Amour,\u00a0<\/span>The Proving Trail<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cDrifting across the vast space, silent except for wind and footsteps, I felt uncluttered and unhurried for the first time in a while, already on desert time.\u201d \u2015\u00a0Rebecca Solnit<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cA pain stabbed my heart, as it did every time I saw a girl I loved who was going the opposite direction in this too-big world.\u201d \u2015\u00a0Jack Kerouac,\u00a0<\/em><\/span>On the Road<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n\u201cThe Road goes ever on and on
\u2015\u00a0J.R.R. Tolkien<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cMost travel, and certainly the rewarding kind, involves depending on the kindness of strangers, putting yourself into the hands of people you don\u2019t know and trusting them with your life.\u201d \u2015\u00a0Paul Theroux,\u00a0<\/span>Ghost Train to the Eastern Star<\/span><\/em><\/p>\nQuotes about Travel and Adventure<\/h2>\n\u201cThe wish to travel seems to me characteristically human: the desire to move, to satisfy your curiosity or ease your fears, to change the circumstances of your life, to be a stranger, to make a friend, to experience an exotic landscape, to risk the unknown..\u201d \u2015\u00a0Paul Theroux<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cTravellers understand, instinctively and by experience, that travel and adventure change and elongate time, even while navigating the deadlines of airline and train departures.\u201d \u2015\u00a0Paul Sheehan<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cThousands of tired, nerve-shaken, over-civilized people are beginning to find out that going to the mountains is going home; that wildness is a necessity\u201d \u2015\u00a0John Muir<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cWe need the tonic of wildness\u2026At the same time that we are earnest to explore and learn all things, we require that all things be mysterious and unexplorable, that land and sea be indefinitely wild, unsurveyed and unfathomed by us because unfathomable. We can never have enough of nature.\u201d \u2015\u00a0Henry David Thoreau<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cAdventure is allowing the unexpected to happen to you. Exploration is experiencing what you have not experienced before. How can there be any adventure, any exploration, if you let somebody else \u2013 above all, a travel bureau \u2013 arrange everything before-hand?\u201d \u2015\u00a0Richard Aldington<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cAdventure rewrites the routine of our lives and wakes us sharply from the comforts of the familiar. It allows us to see how vast the expanse of our experience. Our ability to grow is no longer linear but becomes unrestricted to any direction we wish to run.\u201d \u2015\u00a0Josh Gates<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cIt\u2019s a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don\u2019t keep your feet, there\u2019s no knowing where you might be swept off to.\u201d \u2015\u00a0J.R.R. Tolkien<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cWhat is it about maps? I could look at them all day, earnestly studying the names of towns and villages I have never heard of and will never visit\u2026\u201d \u2015\u00a0Bill Bryson<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cTravelers understand, instinctively and by experience, that travel and adventure change and elongate time, even while navigating the deadlines of airline and train departures.\u201d\u2015\u00a0Paul Sheehan<\/p>\n
\u201cI want to stay as close to the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge you see all kinds of things you can\u2019t see from the center.\u201d\u00a0 \u2014 Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.<\/p>\n
\u201cAlthough I deeply love oceans, deserts and other wild landscapes, it is only mountains that beckon me with that sort of painful magnetic pull to walk deeper and deeper into their beauty. They keep me continuously wanting to know more, feel more, see more.\u201d \u2015\u00a0Victoria Erickson<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cThere is a love of wild nature in everybody, an ancient mother-love showing itself whether recognized or no, and however covered by cares and duties\u201d \u2015\u00a0John Muir<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cI was surprised, as always, by how easy the act of leaving was, and how good it felt. The world was suddenly rich with possibility.\u201d \u2015\u00a0Jack Kerouac<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cIf I\u2019m an advocate for anything, it\u2019s to move. As far as you can, as much as you can. Across the ocean, or simply across the river. The extent to which you can walk in someone else\u2019s shoes or at least eat their food, it\u2019s a plus for everybody. Open your mind, get up off the couch, move.\u201d \u2015\u00a0Anthony Bourdain<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cWhile she was in transit, being unattached was exhilarating, but the moment she stopped, so did the high.\u201d \u2015\u00a0Whitney Otto<\/span><\/p>\nDreamy Inspirational Travel Quotes<\/h2>\n\u201cLet those who wish have their respectability- I wanted freedom, freedom to indulge in whatever caprice struck my fancy, freedom to search in the farthermost corners of the earth for the beautiful, the joyous, and the romantic.\u201d \u2015\u00a0Richard Halliburton<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cWhen no possessions keep us, when no countries contain us, and no time detains us, man becomes a heroic wanderer, and woman, a wanderess.\u201d \u2015\u00a0Roman Payne<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cWe only know a tiny proportion about the complexity of the natural world. Wherever you look, there are still things we don\u2019t know about and don\u2019t understand. [\u2026] There are always new things to find out if you go looking for them.\u201d\u00a0 \u2015 David Attenborough<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cIt is always sad to leave a place to which one knows one will never return. Such are the melancholies du voyage: perhaps they are one of the most rewarding things about traveling.\u201d \u2015\u00a0Gustave Flaubert<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cIt\u2019s an irritating reality that many places and events defy description. Angkor Wat and Machu Picchu, for instance, seem to demand silence, like a love affair you can never talk about. For a while after,you fumble for words, trying vainly to assemble a private narrative, an explanation, a comfortable way to frame where you\u2019ve been and whats happened. In the end, you\u2019re just happy you were there- with your eyes open- and lived to see it.\u201d \u2015\u00a0Anthony Bourdain<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cHorizons, cheap whisky straight from the bottleand your hands in mine.\u201d \u2015\u00a0Charlotte Eriksson<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cWhen you go to a country, you must learn how to say two things: how to ask for food, and to tell a woman that you love her. Of these the second is more important, for if you tell a woman you love her, she will certainly feed you.\u201d \u2015\u00a0Louis L\u2019Amour<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cEvery dreamer knows that it is entirely possible to be homesick for a place you\u2019ve never been to, perhaps more homesick than for familiar ground.\u201d \u2015\u00a0Judith Thurman<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cStill, there are times I am bewildered by each mile I have traveled, each meal I have eaten, each person I have known, each room in which I have slept. As ordinary as it all appears, there are times when it is beyond my imagination.\u201d -Jhumpa Lahiri<\/p>\n
\u201cThe urge to travel feels magnetic. Two of my favorite words are linked: departure time. And travel whets the emotions, turns upside down the memory bank, and the golden coins scatter.\u201d \u2015\u00a0Frances Mayes<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cTraveling is a brutality. It forces you to trust strangers and to lose sight of all that familiar comfort of home and friends.
\u201cWhy do you go away? So that you can come back. So that you can see the place you came from with new eyes and extra colors. And the people there see you differently, too. Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving.\u201d\u00a0Terry Pratchett<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cEvery one of a hundred thousand cities around the world had its own special sunset and it was worth going there, just once, if only to see the sun go down.\u201d \u2015\u00a0Ryu Murakami<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cStill round the corner there may wait
\u2015 J.R.R. Tolkien<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cI address you all tonight for who you truly are: wizards, mermaids, travelers, adventurers, and magicians. You are the true dreamers.\u201d \u2015\u00a0Brian Selznick<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cThe pleasure we derive from journeys is perhaps dependent more on the mindset with which we travel than on the destination we travel to.\u201d \u2015\u00a0Alain de Botton<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cAir travel reminds us who we are. It\u2019s the means by which we recognize ourselves as modern. The process removes us from the world and sets us apart from each other. We wander in the ambient noise, checking one more time for the flight coupon, the boarding pass, the visa. The process convinces us that at any moment we may have to submit to the force that is implied in all this, the unknown authority behind it, behind the categories, the languages we don\u2019t understand. This vast terminal has been erected to examine souls.\u201d \u2015\u00a0Don DeLillo<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cBut why think about that when all the golden lands ahead of you and all kinds of unforseen events wait lurking to surprise you and make you glad you\u2019re alive to see?\u201d \u2015\u00a0Jack Kerouac,\u00a0<\/span>On the Road<\/span><\/em><\/p>\nMore Awesome Trip Quotes<\/h2>\n\u201cOnly the road and the dawn, the sun, the wind, and the rain,John Masefield<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cLeave home, leave the country, leave the familiar. Only then can routine experience\u2014buying bread, eating vegetables, even saying hello\u2014become new all over again.\u201d \u2015\u00a0Anthony Doerr<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cThey spoke less and less between them until at last they were silent altogether as is often the way with travelers approaching the end of a journey.\u201d \u2015\u00a0Cormac McCarthy<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cThe exploration of self is only enhanced by your expeditions & innumerable odysseys that nurture the mind and soul, if finding a purpose is your goal then travelling lies at the heart of it.\u201d \u2015\u00a0Sachin Kumar Puli<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cThis was how it was with travel: one city gives you gifts, another robs you. One gives you the heart\u2019s affections, the other destroys your soul. Cities and countries are as alive, as feeling, as fickle and uncertain as people. Their degrees of love and devotion are as varying as with any human relation. Just as one is good, another is bad.\u201d \u2015 Roman Payne<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cBooks are the plane, and the train, and the road. They are the destination, and the journey. They are home.\u201d \u2015\u00a0Anna Quindlen<\/span><\/p>\nA person of strange expertise will all the time be strange, whether or not he travels or not; however a person of superior expertise will go to items if he stays perpetually in the identical place\u201d \u2013 Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart<\/p>\n
\u201cI had a desire to see something besides my own shores, if only to be content to return to them someday. If I wish to live in my native land and love her, it should not be out of ignorance.\u201d \u2015\u00a0Margaret George<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cTravel is the only context in which some people ever look around. If we spent half the energy looking at our own neighborhoods, we\u2019d probably learn twice as much.\u201d \u2015\u00a0Lucy R. Lippard<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cYou meet a new person, you go with him and suddenly you get a whole new city\u2026you go down new streets, you see houses you never saw before, pass places you didn\u2019t even know were there. Everything changes.\u201d \u2015\u00a0Samuel R. Delan<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cThe value of your travels does not hinge on how many stamps you have in your passport when you get home \u2014 and the slow nuanced experience of a single country is always better than the hurried, superficial experience of forty countries.\u201d\u00a0Rolf Potts<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cThe world is as large as I let it be. Each step I take into the unknown reveals a thousand more steps of possibility. Earth may not be growing but my world certainly does with each step I take.\u201d \u2015\u00a0Avina Celeste<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cTo know a person in his home is not to know him at all: to meet him on a country road with only his baggage is to at last contact the core, the inner cell of his personality.\u201d \u2015\u00a0John Tibbetts<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cWhen you travel, remember that a foreign country is not designed to make you comfortable. It is designed to make its own people comfortable.\u201d \u2015\u00a0Clifton Fadiman<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cRoam abroad in the world, and take thy fill of its enjoyments before the day shall come when thou must quit it for good.\u201d \u2015\u00a0Saadi<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cIt\u2019s in those quiet little towns, at the edge of the world, that you will find the salt of the earth people who make you feel right at home.\u201d \u2015\u00a0Aaron Lauritsen<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cWe wish to learn all the curious, outlandish ways of all the different countries, so that we can \u201cshow off\u201d and astonish folks after we get dwelling. We want to excite the envy of our untraveled associates with our unusual international fashions which we are able to\u2019t shake off.\u201d \u2015\u00a0Mark Twain<\/span><\/p>\nThoughtful Phrases About Travel + Self Discovery<\/h2>\n\u201cNo man is brave that has never walked a hundred miles. If you want to know the truth of who you are, walk until not a person knows your name. Travel is the great leveler, the great teacher, bitter as medicine, crueler than mirror-glass. A long stretch of road will teach you more about yourself than a hundred years of quiet.\u201d \u2015\u00a0Patrick Rothfuss<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cNobody can discover the world for somebody else. Only when we discover it for ourselves does it become common ground and a common bond and we cease to be alone.\u201d\u00a0 \u2015
