Best Quotes - Travel QuotesBest quotes - travel quotes give a hunch on the importance of place in our journey. A new place provides opportunity to see things in a new aspect and to choose the setting for new experiences.
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. The wise man's home is the universe. Those who visit foreign nations, but who associate only with their own countrymen, change their climate, but not their customs; they see new meridians, but the same men; and with heads as empty as their pockets, return home with travelled bodies, but untravelled minds. People travel to faraway places to watch, in fascination, the kind of people they ignore at home. There are no foreign lands. It is the traveler only who is foreign. To travel is to discover that everyone is wrong about other countries. Top of page Best Quotes - Travel Quotes What you’ve done becomes the judge of what you’re going to do - especially in other people’s minds. When you’re travelling, you are what you are right there and then. People don’t have your past to hold against you. No yesterdays on the road. --William Least Heat Moon-- Tourists don’t know where they’ve been, travellers don’t know where they’re going. Travelling is a brutality. It forces you to trust strangers and to lose sight of all that familiar comfort of home and friends. You are constantly off balance. Nothing is yours except the essential things - air, sleep, dreams, the sea, the sky - all things tending towards the eternal or what we imagine of it. All the pathos and irony of leaving one's youth behind is thus implicit in every joyous moment of travel: one knows that the first joy can never be recovered, and the wise traveller learns not to repeat successes but tries new places all the time. Take only memories. Leave nothing but footprints. Beyond the East the sunrise, beyond the West the sea. And East and West the wander-thirst that will not let me be. Top of page Best Quotes - Travel Quotes To leave is to die a little, to die to what we love. We leave behind a bit of ourselves wherever we have been. --Edmond Haraucourt, Choix de Poesies-- Only that travelling is good which reveals to me the value of home and enables me to enjoy it better. Travelling is almost like talking with men of other centuries. I can't think of anything that excites a greater sense of childlike wonder than to be in a country where you are ignorant of almost everything. If you reject the food, ignore the customs, fear the religion, and avoid the people, you might better stay at home.
