Perspectives on Travel
"We must be willing to get rid of the life we've planned so as to have the life that is waiting for us."
--Joseph Campbell
"In the world through which I travel, I am endlessly creating myself."
--Frantz Fanon
"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime."
--Mark Twain, Innocents Abroad
"In my dreams, the angel shrugged and said,
'If we fail this time, it will be a failure of imagination.'
And then she placed the world gently in the palm of my hand."
"Experience, travel... these are as education in themselves."
--Euripides
"We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time."
--T.S. Eliot
