Favourite travel quotes

When it comes to travel, nothing inspires me more than reading about places I've not heard of before or looking at photographs of places I dream of visiting. I find the following quotes inspire me just as much...


*No one realises how beautiful it is to travel until he comes home and rests his head on his old, familiar pillow - Lin Yutang

*For my part, I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel's sake. The great affair is to move - Robert Louis Stevenson

*Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover - Mark Twain

*We live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty, charm and adventure. There is no end to the adventures we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open - Jawaharial Nehru

 *If you reject the food, ignore the customs, fear the religion and avoid the people, you might better stay at home - James Michener

*Adventure is a path. Real adventure - self-determined, self-motivated, often risky - forces you to have firsthand encounters with the world. The world the way it is, not the way you imagine it. Your body will collide with the earth and you will bear witness. In this way you will be compelled to grapple with the limitless kindness and bottomless cruelty of humankind - and perhaps realize that you yourself are capable of both. This will change you. Nothing will ever again be black-and-white -Mark Jenkins
