I could do one show after another in China for the rest of my life and still die ignorant. There’s a lot of places left to go.

I spent three days a week for 10 years educating myself in the public library, and it’s better than college. People should educate themselves – you can get a complete education for no money. At the end of 10 years, I had read every book in the library and I’d written a thousand stories.

I want to work; then, as my kids get older, I want to have adventures. I want to visit all their countries: learn and live inside all their cultures.

I always seem to get inspiration and renewed vitality by contact with this great novel land of yours which sticks up out of the Atlantic.

There can never be any stop to learn about different cultures by travelling to different places. And whatever comes your way, continue the healthy eating habits.

I’ve been away since I was pretty much eight, traveling to the car tracks, and then going to Europe and traveling more.

Southeast Asia has a real grip on me. From the very first time I went there, it was a fulfillment of my childhood fantasies of the way travel should be.

I would drive to gigs in my tiny little Fiat. I would shoot up and down the M1 to play at various places.

It’s not a real adventure when you have to pay for it.

Wherever I go, as long as I get a hot vegetable dish, I am okay. If I am in Gujarat, I have Gujarati food. If it’s Shillong, it’s northeastern.

I shall make that trip. I shall go to Korea.

As long as I’m learning something, I figure I’m OK – it’s a decent day.

I’ve been here before and will come again, but I’m not going this trip through.

Yeah, I like to keep myself interested – I’ll kind of throw myself into some area that I don’t completely know or understand, that I’m not adept at, so I’m forced to swim in order to stay afloat. There’s a good feeling that comes from that.

When one travels around the world, one notices to what an extraordinary degree human nature is the same, whether in India or America, in Europe or Australia.

Today, we have private airline companies, but if you take a look at a Boeing plane next time you travel, you’ll see that you are basically taking a ride on a modified bomber.

My home is in Heaven. I’m just traveling through this world.

In America, there might be better gastronomic destinations than New Orleans, but there is no place more uniquely wonderful.

Reactionaries often describe both Marx and Lenin as theorists, without taking into consideration that their utopias inspired Russia and China – the two countries called upon to lead a new world which will allow for human survival if imperialism does not first unleash a criminal, exterminating war.

Trees go wandering forth in all directions with every wind, going and coming like ourselves, traveling with us around the sun two million miles a day, and through space heaven knows how fast and far!

To start with, I love New York… It’s a little bit of the whole world… In New York, the whole world comes to you.

When I prepare, I am not messing around. I find the right places, the right people, and the right environment. Iceland is one of those places.

I remember I was flying home to Los Angeles one day. I was talking to the woman next to me and the flight attendant tried to tell me I was sitting next to somebody that I should know. I didn’t recognize her but it ended up being Beyonce’s sister, Solange Knowles.

I’ll stay in Memphis.

Intellectual growth should commence at birth and cease only at death.

I like to combine visits to more than one place when I go on my international tours in order to get more done. I’m from Ahmedabad where we have a saying, ‚Single-fare, double journey.‘

To walk through the ruined cities of Germany is to feel an actual doubt about the continuity of civilization.

With the casino and the beds, our passengers will have at least two ways to get lucky on one of our flights.

If you don’t trust the pilot, don’t go.

Self-education is, I firmly believe, the only kind of education there is.

Life is an adventure, it’s not a package tour.

A queer fellow and a jolly fellow is the grasshopper. Up the mountains he comes on excursions, how high I don’t know, but at least as far and high as Yosemite tourists.

I want to stand as close to the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge you see all the kinds of things you can’t see from the center.

Perhaps, after all, America never has been discovered. I myself would say that it had merely been detected.

I’m a Bangalore boy.

The Chinese have figured out that they have a giant environmental problem. Folks in Beijing, some days, literally can’t breathe. Over a million Chinese die prematurely every year because of air pollution.

I would like to go back to Wales. I’m obsessed with my childhood and at least three times a week dream I am back there.

Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it not.

Places I’ve lived since then had to have some kind of uniqueness and character about them. And logically Key West, and then Down Island. So, all of that stuff sort of had it’s roots in New Orleans and went crazy.

When all the routines and details and the human bores get on our nerves, we just yearn to go away from here to somewhere else. To go fishing is a sound, a valid, and an accepted reason for an escape. It requires no explanation.

I had rather have a fool to make me merry than experience to make me sad and to travel for it too!

I used to go away for weeks in a state of confusion.

Go to foreign countries and you will get to know the good things one possesses at home.

Going to Southeast Asia for the first time and tasting that spectrum of flavors – that certainly changed my whole palate, the kind of foods I crave. A lot of the dishes I used to love became boring to me.

It’s time to commit to finding the answer, to search for life beyond Earth. Mankind has a deep need to explore, to learn, to know. We also happen to be sociable creatures. It is important for us to know if we are alone in the dark.

Children astound me with their inquisitive minds. The world is wide and mysterious to them, and as they piece together the puzzle of life, they ask ‚Why?‘ ceaselessly.

We travel often to Asia, Africa, Europe, where they were born.

The worst way of flying, I think, is standby. It never works. That’s why they call it standby. You end up standing there going, ‚Bye!‘

I’m a wandering gypsy.

I’ve been waiting over 40 years to come to Cyprus, and it has not disappointed – the birthplace of Aphrodite, the Crossroads of Civilization, and, I might add, a genuine strategic partner to the United States of America.

We are often raised as dependents then given over to teachers. It’s experience and exploration that can transform us and lead to mastery.

There’s nowhere else like London. Nothing at all, anywhere.

I never travel without my diary. One should always have something sensational to read in the train.

The clearest way into the Universe is through a forest wilderness.

I feel like I have lived all over the world since I get to go everywhere to film.

I think my first thought on reaching the summit- of course, I was very, very pleased to be there, naturally – but my first thought was one of a little bit of surprise. I was a little bit surprised that here I was, Ed Hillary, on top of Mt. Everest. After all, this is the ambition of most mountaineers.

You can choose a future where more Americans have the chance to gain the skills they need to compete, no matter how old they are or how much money they have. Education was the gateway to opportunity for me. It was the gateway for Michelle. And now more than ever, it is the gateway to a middle-class life.

A journey is a person in itself; no two are alike. And all plans, safeguards, policing, and coercion are fruitless. We find that after years of struggle that we do not take a trip; a trip takes us.

I spent more time on dark ships in danger zones than any other woman in the world.

Stories surge up out of nowhere, and if they feel compelling, you follow them. You let them unfold inside you and see where they are going to lead.

I went by myself to Hollywood, I spoke no English, every day I had to go to school.
