Over the last 15 months, we’ve traveled to every corner of the United States. I’ve now been in 57 states? I think one left to go.

When I’m home, I spend Sunday with my husband. If we’re not cooking, we travel around in our camper, stop at fast-food restaurants, and picnic. We love that stuff that will harden your arteries in a hurry.

Life is an unfoldment, and the further we travel the more truth we can comprehend. To understand the things that are at our door is the best preparation for understanding those that lie beyond.

I was distressed that after 9/11, when the United States was attacked by terrorists, the United States‘ response was to attack Afghanistan, where some of the terrorists had been.

Science sent the Hubble telescope out into space, so it could capture light and the absence thereof, from the very beginning of time. And the telescope really did that. So now we know that there was once absolutely nothing, such a perfect nothing that there wasn’t even nothing or once.

How long will it take the citizens of the United States, one wonders, to recognize that the house their country bombed in Iraq is the same one they were living in until it was foreclosed?

If I’m in Rome for only 48 hours, I would consider it a sin against God to not eat cacio e pepe, the most uniquely Roman of pastas, in some crummy little joint where Romans eat. I’d much rather do that than go to the Vatican. That’s Rome to me.

Going to the woods is going home, for I suppose we came from the woods originally. But in some of nature’s forests, the adventurous traveler seems a feeble, unwelcome creature; wild beasts and the weather trying to kill him, the rank, tangled vegetation, armed with spears and stinging needles, barring his way and making life a hard struggle.

Life is either a great adventure or nothing.

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

There is no way I would ask others to go on a Virgin Galactic flight if I didn’t feel it was safe enough for myself.

You just feel a little odd when you don’t get your kind of food. Fortunately, there are Indian restaurants all over the world.

Our position is that we do not accept conditions of any kind which may affect the independence and sovereignty of our country just with the view to solve economic problems existing between the United States and Cuba.

Fifty years of isolating Cuba had failed to promote democracy, setting us back in Latin America. That’s why we restored diplomatic relations, opened the door to travel and commerce, and positioned ourselves to improve the lives of the Cuban people.

I have spent my life going from mania to mania. Somehow it has all paid off.

If I see a mountain, I just pick up and hike it.

Everywhere is within walking distance if you have the time.

Growing up in the place I did I never was aware of any other option but to question everything.

My fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.

I am the man who accompanied Jacqueline Kennedy to Paris, and I have enjoyed it.

I didn’t want to be a fashion designer, and for a good half of my career I didn’t like it. I always wanted to do other things.

What is wanted is not the will to believe, but the will to find out, which is the exact opposite.

A life without adventure is likely to be unsatisfying, but a life in which adventure is allowed to take whatever form it will is sure to be short.

Buy the ticket, take the ride.

The terrorists and their supporters declared war on the United States – and war is what they got.

Land on Mars, a round-trip ticket – half a million dollars. It can be done.

A number of analysts have observed that although bin Laden was finally killed, he won some major successes in his war against the U.S.

I had a project for my life which involved 10 years of wandering, then some years of medical studies and, if any time was left, the great adventure of physics.

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

I almost laughed about the Machiavellian plans of the presidents of the United States.

I have always loved blizzards, if only because of the driving experience – which is definitely an acquired taste.

I don’t watch television and I rarely go to the cinema, but I recently watched ‚The King’s Speech‘ on a flight. It was so beautiful and so simple.

In Paris, you’re as far as possible from the land of pleasant smiles.

To the well-organized mind, death is but the next great adventure.

There is nothing better than getting shot at and missed. It’s really great.

I’ve actually made a prediction that within 30 years a majority of new cars made in the United States will be electric. And I don’t mean hybrid, I mean fully electric.

They are ill discoverers that think there is no land, when they can see nothing but sea.

One of the best ways to see tree flowers is to climb one of the tallest trees and to get into close, tingling touch with them, and then look broad.

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

One of the things that I have admired about India is the spiritualism of the people.

In my youth, I traveled much, and I observed in different countries, that the more public provisions were made for the poor, the less they provided for themselves, and of course became poorer. And, on the contrary, the less was done for them, the more they did for themselves, and became richer.

My idea, as the whole world knows, is that the capitalist system now doesn’t work either for the United States or the world, driving it from crisis to crisis, which are each time more serious.

We’ve climbed the mighty mountain. I see the valley below, and it’s a valley of peace.

Love can consign us to hell or to paradise, but it always takes us somewhere.

No one can pass through life, any more than he can pass through a bit of country, without leaving tracks behind, and those tracks may often be helpful to those coming after him in finding their way.

Of all the mountain ranges I have climbed, I like the Sierra Nevada the best.

By disgracing and degrading the presidency of the United States, by fleeing the White House like a diseased cur, Richard Nixon broke the heart of the American Dream.

I love driving my car on any highway.

Let me tell you what I literally told every world leader I’ve met with, and I’ve met them all: It’s never, never, never been a good bet to bet against America. We have the finest fighting force in the world.

I’ve been everywhere in the world, seen everything, had everything a man can have.

In the spring of 1929, I returned to the United States. I was homesick for this country. I had learned in my student days a great deal about the new physics. I wanted to pursue this myself, to explain it, and to foster its cultivation.

Fantasy is uni-age. You can start it in the creche, and it follows you to death.

Iraq is a long way from the U.S., but what happens there matters a great deal here. For the risks that the leaders of a rogue state will use nuclear, chemical or biological weapons against us or our allies is the greatest security threat we face.

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

I’ll stay in Memphis.

In the Church, and in the journey of faith, women have had and still have a special role in opening doors to the Lord.

If you think the United States has stood still, who built the largest shopping center in the world?

The universe is wider than our views of it.

The man who goes alone can start today; but he who travels with another must wait till that other is ready.

There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.

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