Cities were always like people, showing their varying personalities to the traveler. Depending on the city and on the traveler, there might begin a mutual love, or dislike, friendship, or enmity. Where one city will rise a certain individual to glory, it will destroy another who is not suited to its personality. Only through travel can we know where we belong or not, where we are loved and where we are rejected. . Roman Payne

We travel, initially, to lose ourselves; and we travel, next to find ourselves. We travel to open our hearts and eyes and learn more about the world than our newspapers will accommodate. We travel to bring what little we can, in our ignorance and knowledge, to those parts of the globe whose riches are differently dispersed. And we travel, in essence, to become young fools again- to slow time down and get taken in, and fall in love once more. . Pico Iyer

There’s something about arriving in new cities, wandering empty streets with no destination. I will never lose the love for the arriving, but I'm born to leave. Charlotte Eriksson

I am awfully greedy; I want everything from life. I want to be a woman and to be a man, to have many friends and to have loneliness, to work much and write good books, to travel and enjoy myself, to be selfish and to be unselfish… You see, it is difficult to get all which I want. And then when I do not succeed I get mad with anger. Simone De Beauvoir

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. Christopher McCandless

People do not die for us immediately, but remain bathed in a sort of aura oflife which bears no relation to true immortality but through which theycontinue to occupy our thoughts in the same way as when they were alive. Itis as though they were traveling abroad. Marcel Proust

No 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. Patrick Rothfuss

The 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.. Paul Theroux

Ô, Wanderess, WanderessWhen did you feel your most euphoric kiss? Was I the source of your greatest bliss? Roman Payne

It was as if we'd only been gone the weekend. Or had we been gone a lifetime. Part of that was because when you've lived in Alaska, living in other places seems easier, less challenging, less threatening. Alaska had enlarged each of us. No one is ever the same after coming back from Alaska. Peter Jenkins

Once in a very long time you come across a book that is far, far more than the ink, the glue and the paper, a book that seeps into your blood. With such a book the impact isn't necessarily obvious at first..but the more you read it and re-read it, and live with it, and travel with it, the more it speaks to you, and the more you realize that you cannot live without that book. It's then that the wisdom hidden inside, the seed, is passed on. Tahir Shah

Like Salvador Dali’s paintings of watches melting in the sand, time wanders at its own curious pace whenever you’re on vacation in a foreign country. Laurie Nadel

Paradise was always over there, a day’s sail away. But it’s a funny thing, escapism. You can go far and wide and you can keep moving on and on through places and years, but you never escape your own life. I, finally, knew where my life belonged. Home. J. Maarten Troost

Ô, Sunlight! The most precious gold to be found on Earth. Roman Payne

Of the gladdest moments in human life, methinks, is the departure upon a distant journey into unknown lands. Shaking off with one mighty effort the fetters of Habit, the leaden weight of Routine, the cloak of many Cares and the slavery of Civilization, man feels once more happy. Richard Francis Burton

Первое, на чÑ‚о я обраÑ‚ил внимание в Ñ‚оÑ‚ первÑ‹й день в Бомбее, — непривÑ‹чнÑ‹й запах. Я почувсÑ‚вовал его уже в переходе оÑ‚ самолеÑ‚а к зданию аэровокзала — прежде, чем услÑ‹шал или увидел чÑ‚о-либо в Индии. ЭÑ‚оÑ‚ запах бÑ‹л прияÑ‚ен и будоражил меня, в Ñ‚у первую минуÑ‚у в Бомбее, когда я, вÑ‹рвавшись на свободу, заново всÑ‚упал в большой мир, но он бÑ‹л мне абсолюÑ‚но незнаком. Теперь я знаю, чÑ‚о эÑ‚о сладкий, Ñ‚ревожнÑ‹й запах надеждÑ‹, уничÑ‚ожающей ненависÑ‚ь, и в Ñ‚о же время кислÑ‹й, заÑ‚хлÑ‹й запах жадносÑ‚и, уничÑ‚ожающей любовь. ЭÑ‚о запах богов и демонов, распадающихся и возрожденнÑ‹х империй и цивилизаций. ЭÑ‚о голубой запах морской кожи, ощуÑ‚имÑ‹й в любой Ñ‚очке города на семи осÑ‚ровах, и кроваво-меÑ‚аллический запах машин. ЭÑ‚о запах суеÑ‚Ñ‹ и покоя, всей жизнедеяÑ‚ельносÑ‚и шесÑ‚идесяÑ‚и миллионов живоÑ‚нÑ‹х, больше половинÑ‹ коÑ‚орÑ‹х — человеческие сущесÑ‚ва и крÑ‹сÑ‹. ЭÑ‚о запах любви и разбиÑ‚Ñ‹х сердец, борьбÑ‹ за вÑ‹живание и жесÑ‚оких поражений, вÑ‹ковÑ‹вающих нашу храбросÑ‚ь. ЭÑ‚о запах десяÑ‚и Ñ‚Ñ‹сяч ресÑ‚оранов, пяÑ‚и Ñ‚Ñ‹сяч храмов, усÑ‹пальниц, церквей и мечеÑ‚ей, а Ñ‚акже соÑ‚ен базаров, где Ñ‚оргуюÑ‚ исключиÑ‚ельно духами, пряносÑ‚ями, благовониями и свежими цвеÑ‚ами. Карла назвала его однаждÑ‹ худшим из самÑ‹х прекраснÑ‹х аромаÑ‚ов, и она бÑ‹ла, несомненно, права, как она всегда бÑ‹ваеÑ‚ по-своему права в своих оценках. И Ñ‚еперь, когда бÑ‹ я ни приехал в Бомбей, прежде всего я ощущаю эÑ‚оÑ‚ запах — он привеÑ‚сÑ‚вуеÑ‚ меня и говориÑ‚, чÑ‚о я вернулся домой. Gregory David Roberts

â€â€¹If You have Chosen a Destination, You Must Find a Path. if You have Chosen a Path, You Must Find the Destination. You can Never Choose Both. Vineet Raj Kapoor

Such were our minor preparations for the journey, but above all we laid in an ample stock of good-humour, and a genuine disposition to be pleased; determining to travel in true contrabandista style; taking things as we found them, rough or smooth, and mingling with all classes and conditions in a kind of vagabond companionship. It is the true way to travel in Spain. Washington Irving

The struggles we endure today will be the ‘good old days’ we laugh about tomorrow. Aaron Lauritsen

The paradox of love is that to have it is to want to preserve it because it's perfect in the moment but that preservation is impossible because the perfection is only ever an instant passed through. Love like travel is a series of moments that we immediately leave behind. Still we try to hold on and embalm against all evidence and common sense proclaiming our promises and plans. The more I loved him the more I felt hope. But hope acknowledges uncertainty and so I also felt my first premonitions of loss. Elisabeth Eaves

If you call a gypsy a vagabond, I think you do him wrong, For he never goes a-travelling but he takes his home along. And the only reason a road is good, as every wanderer knows, Is just because of the homes, the homes, the homes to which it goes. Joyce Kilmer

It is high time that I learn to be more careful about hope, a reckless emotion for travelers. The sensible approach would be to the expect the worst, the very worst, that way you avoid grievous disappointment and who knows with a tiny bit of luck, you might even have a moderately pleasant surprise, like the difference between hell and purgatory. Martha Gellhorn

There is strange comfort in knowing that no matter what happens today, the Sun will rise again tomorrow. Aaron Lauritsen

Successes are those highlights of life we look back on with a smile. But it's the day to day grind of getting them that defines the laugh lines etched until the end of time. Enjoy each moment along the way Aaron Lauritsen

Who journeyed to Denver, who died in Denver, who came back to Denver & waited in vain, who watched over Denver & brooded and loned in Denver and finally went away to find out the Time, & now Denver is lonesome for her heroes, Allen Ginsberg
