Diane von FurstenbergWanderlust is not a passion for travel exactly, itโs something more animal and more fickle- more like lust. We donโt lust after very many things in life. We donโt need words like โworklustโ or โhomemakinglust.โ But travel? The essayist Anatole Broyard put it perfectly: โTravel is like adultery: one is always tempted to be unfaithful to oneโs own country. To have imagination is inevitably to be dissatisfied with where you liveโฆ in our wanderlust, we are lovers looking for consummation.โ

David GrubbsTo travel a circle is to journey over the same ground time and time again. To travel a circle wisely is to journey over the same ground for the first time.

It's truly a wonderful way to travel - food shopping, cooking and eating in one home for lunch and then another for dinner.

Elizabeth GilbertSounds travel through space long after their wave patterns have ceased to be detectable by the human ear: some cut right through the ionosphere and barrel on out into the cosmic heartland, while others bounce around, eventually being absorbed into the vibratory fields of earthly barriers, but in neither case does the energy succumb; it goes on forever - which is why we, each of us, should take pains to make sweet notes.
Tom RobbinsSay you're working for a big overseas aid organization. You can't leave home in a Mercedes Benz, travel 80 kilometers to work in a great concrete structure where there are diesel engines thundering in the basement just to keep it cool enough for you to work in, and plan mud huts for Africa! You can't get the mud huts right if you haven't got things right where you are. You've got to get things right, working for you, and then go and say what that is.
Bill MollisonIt is delightful to read on the spot the impressions and opinions of tourists who visited a hundred years ago, in the vehicles and with the aesthetic prejudices of the period, the places which you are visiting now.

Thomas MallonHe felt as though he were failing in practically every area of his life. Lately, happiness seemed as distant and unattainable to him as space travel. He hadn't always felt this way. There had been a long period of time during which he remembered being very happy. But things change. People change.

Mistakes are made, regrets form, and all that was left were repercussions that made something as simple as rising from the bed seem almost laborious.

John C. MaxwellMagazines in the traditional sense were aggregators of novelty. A good magazine was a lot of novelty, stuff you've never heard of before, clearly aggregated by people who have been able to travel further and dig deeper than you have been able to do. And that used to be really an important source of stuff for me. And now it is less important because the Internet has eaten it all up. But my Twitter feed as an aggregator of novelty is like... I don't know what I would do if it became any more powerful, I would have to start reining it in somehow.
