Happiness is the intoxication produced by the moment of poise between a satisfactory past and an immediate future, rich with promise.

Travel can also be the spirit of adventure somewhat tamed, for those who desire to do something they are a bit afraid of.

The true traveller is the one urged to move about for physical, aesthetic, intellectual as well as spiritual reasons.

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

One of the main points about travelling is to develop in us a feeling of solidarity, of that oneness without which no better world is possible.

Not only does travel give us a new system of reckoning, it also brings to the fore unknown aspects of our own self. Our consciousness being broadened and enriched, we shall judge ourselves more correctly.
