I travel for travel's sake. ~ Robert Louis Stevenson Every perfect traveler always creates the country where he travels. ~ Nikos Kazantzakis I am not much an advocate for traveling, and I observe that men run away to other countries because they are not good in their own, and run back to their own because they pass for nothing in the new places. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson Human beings are more alike than unalike, and what is true anywhere is true everywhere, yet I encourage travel to as many destinations as possible for the sake of education as well as pleasure. ~ Maya Angelou I have found out that there ain't no surer way to find out whether you like people or hate them than to travel with them. ~ Mark Twain 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. ~ Henry Miller It's very far away/It takes about a half a day to get there/ If we travel by--dragonfly. ~ Jimi Hendrix When to arrive at the airport?: You should be at the airport already. ~ Dave Barry, Knight Ridder Tribune, 7/3/04
