My Favorite Travel Quotes

"I think that wherever your journey takes you, there are new gods waiting there, with divine patience -- and laughter." -Susan M. Watkins

"One’s destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things." –- Henry Miller

"We must go beyond textbooks, go out into the bypaths and the untrodden depths of the wilderness and travel and explore and tell the world the glories of our journey."

"Experience, travel - these are as education in themselves," - Euripides

"Travel can be one of the most rewarding forms of introspection." - Lawrence Durrell
