WORDS ON TRAVEL.

Once you have traveled, the voyage never ends, but is played out over and over again the mind can never break off from the journey.

- Pat Conroy, American writer

Most travelers content themselves with what they may chance to see from the car windows clinging to the battered highways like drowning sailors to a life raft.

- John Muir, naturalist

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, American writer

There are pioneer souls that blaze their paths
Where highways never ran.

- Sam Walter Foss, writer

The journey not the arrival matters.

- T.S. Eliot, poet

Better to leave half unseen and to see well the rest;
to watch them, to learn them, to live them, to love them,
till they have become a part of life and life's recollections.

- Augustus Hare, writer

Even disasters - there are always disasters when you travel -
can be turned into adventures.

- Marilyn French, writer

The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeing new landscapes,
but in having new eyes.

- Marcel Proust, French Writer

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.

- Lao Tzu, Chinese philosopher

All any of us need is a very light suitcase.

- Oswald Wynd, writer

The use of traveling is to regulate imagination by reality,
and instead of thinking how things may be, to see them as they are.

- Samuel Johnson, philosopher

Take only memories. Leave nothing but footprints.

- Chief Seattle, Suquamish Chief

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

- George Moore, Irish novelist

A journey is a person in itself; not two are alike.

- John Steinbeck, writer

Too often I would hear men boast
only of the miles covered that day,
rarely of what they had seen.

- Louis L'Amour, American writer
