Quotes About Travel

Today, we know that time travel need not be confined to myths, science fiction, Hollywood movies, or even speculation by theoretical physicists. Time travel is possible.

The value of travel is not just the travel but what the travel makes of you.

I feel like I've spent the last five years of my life on the road. It hasn't affected my songs but it's probably affected everything else about me.

What I find to be very bad advice is the snappy little sentence, 'Write what you know.' It is the most tiresome and stupid advice that could possibly be given.

We just coil tighter and tighter into our boring little selves. What one should write about is what interests one.
