#travel

"As soon as you cross the county line into where all the wealthier people live, the weather is suddenly sunnier and warmer. Even at night."

"To move, to breathe, to fly, to float,To gain all while you give,To roam the roads of lands remote,To travel is to live."

"This was how it was with travel: one city gives you gifts, another robs you. One gives you the heart’s 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."

"So I find words I never thought to speakIn streets I never thought I should revisitWhen I left my body on a distant shore."

"Roam abroad in the world, and take thy fill of its enjoyments before the day shall come when thou must quit it for good."

"It was during my enchanted days of travel that the idea came to me, which, through the years, has come into my thoughts again and again and always happily—the idea that geology is the music of the earth."

"How many cities have revealed themselves to me in the marches I undertook in the pursuit of books!"

"We wanderers, ever seeking the lonelier way, begin no day where we have ended another day; and no sunrise finds us where sunset left us. Even while the earth sleeps we travel. We are the seeds of the tenacious plant, and it is in our ripeness and our fullness of heart that we are given to the wind and are scattered."

"The very basic core of a man's living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun."

"Success comes to those who dedicate everything to their passion in life. To be successful, it is also very important to be humble and never let fame or money travel to your head."

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

"I've come to realize that sometimes, what you love most is what you have to fight the hardest to keep."

"I may be going nowhere, but what a ride."

"I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel's sake. The great affair is to move."

"The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page."

"In books I have traveled, not only to other worlds, but into my own."

"We leave something of ourselves behind when we leave a place, we stay there, even though we go away. And there are things in us that we can find again only by going back there."

"I wish I could travel west nonstop chasing sunsets. And as the time zones move backwards, I could live forever if I just kept moving."

"A good traveller is one who knows how to travel with the mind."

"Like most arts, the link between the mind and the pen can chain you like an enslaved workaholic. Even on an intended vacation you suddenly have this killer urge to record whatever the vacation may teach."
