I wanted to learn a few foreign languages, and therefore I had to go abroad.

One travels to run away from routine, that dreadful routine that kills all imagination and all our capacity for enthusiasm.

When the heart speaks, its language is the same under all latitudes.

One travels so as to learn once more how to marvel at life in the way a child does. And blessed be the poet, the artist who knows how to keep alive his sense of wonder.

I wanted to learn a few foreign languages, and therefore I had to go abroad.

Every time I took a long leave from home, I felt as if I were going to conquer the world. Or rather, take possession of what is my birthright, my inheritance.

You do not travel if you are afraid of the unknown, you travel for the unknown, that reveals you with yourself.
