One travels to escape from it all, but that is the great illusion: It cannot be done, since one travels with one's mind.

From the beginning, I wanted to live my own life, and patiently I shored up that desire against wind and tide.

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

Others are keen to see if natives other than us live better than we do, without heat in pipes, ice in boxes, sunshine in bulbs, music on disks, or images gliding over a pale screen.

The state of minds vary according to the angle under which one examines them.

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

We must develop a deeper interest and greater understanding of the people we meet here or abroad. Like us, they are passengers on board that mysterious ship called life.
