As a teenager, I went to Bali a lot, but it’s a long, long way from England. Which is why, when we bought Necker Island, we made it like a mini Bali.

Y’all are so cute and y’all talk so proper over here. I love England.

Against my will, in the course of my travels, the belief that everything worth knowing was known at Cambridge gradually wore off. In this respect my travels were very useful to me.

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.

One of the triumphs of the Civil Rights Movement is that when you travel through the South today, you do not feel overwhelmed by a residue of grievance and hate.

Where ever I am I always find myself looking out the window wishing I was somewhere else.

When you’re on the road and moving city to city, when someone isn’t there at the end of the night, you feel empty.

I’ll live in Puerto Rico until the day I die.

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

Steak and Shake in Indianapolis is definitely the first stop when we hit that city.

I’ve grown accustomed to hotels and drastic climate change.

On vacations: We hit the sunny beaches where we occupy ourselves keeping the sun off our skin, the saltwater off our bodies, and the sand out of our belongings.

In England, football is a big thing to talk about, but Liverpool, it’s a special place. You feel it when you make your first step.

Any East Coast road trip we have is very exciting, just being on the road, taking it all in.

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

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

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

I love California, I practically grew up in Phoenix.

Sometimes it’s the journey that teaches you a lot about your destination.

To the lover of wilderness, Alaska is one of the most wonderful countries in the world.

I never write about the road. I never write about hotels or anything like that.

The notion that before you even set out to go to Thailand, you say, ‚I’m not interested,‘ or you’re unwilling to try things that people take so personally and are so proud of and so generous with, I don’t understand that, and I think it’s rude. You’re at Grandma’s house, you eat what Grandma serves you.

I’m not afraid to look like a big, hairy, smelly, foreign devil in Tokyo, though I do my best not to, I really do.

The penalty for getting mugged in an American city and losing your ID is that you can’t fly home.

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

Many a trip continues long after movement in time and space have ceased.

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.

The purpose of a vacation is to have the time to rest. But many of us, even when we go on vacation, don’t know how to rest. We may even come back more tired than before we left.

I love travelling full stop – so while I’ve had some harrowing instances, I never look at them negatively. Memories are made when you’re travelling – not when you’re chained to your desk.

When good Americans die they go to Paris.

On the way back from Mumbai to go meet with President Xi in China, I stopped in Singapore to meet with a guy named Lee Kuan Yew, who most foreign policy experts around the world say is the wisest man in the Orient.

I never go anywhere. I do sketches and make phone calls, and people visit. It’s more fun to come to Paris.

With all the travel we’re doing to cold-weather cities, your mind definitely starts to wander. It gets you away from the game. Even when you arrive in a city, you’re tempted to just sit in your hotel and rest. Sometimes it’s nice to just get out and walk around, to see what’s there.

All Scouts should know about St. George. St. George is the Patron Saint of England; he is also the Patron Saint of cavalry in all countries, and therefore Patron Saint of Scouts.

I love to travel, but hate to arrive.

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.

I make good music for long journeys.

Paris ain’t much of a town.

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.

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.

Your true traveller finds boredom rather agreeable than painful. It is the symbol of his liberty – his excessive freedom. He accepts his boredom, when it comes, not merely philosophically, but almost with pleasure.

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.

If you’re embarking around the world in a hot-air balloon, don’t forget the toilet paper.

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 I’m doing a book tour in the States, I’ll wake up in the room sometimes in an anonymous chain hotel, and I don’t know where I am right away. I’ll go to the window, and it doesn’t help there either, especially if you’re in an anonymous strip and it’s the usual Victoria’s Secret, Gap, Chili’s, Applebee’s.

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.

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!

When I went back to England after a year away, the country seemed stuck, dozing in a fairy tale, stifled by the weight of tradition.

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

I was gutted to leave my boyfriend at home when I started my tour, but taking my pillow was like taking a little bit of him with me.

Only by going alone in silence, without baggage, can one truly get into the heart of the wilderness. All other travel is mere dust and hotels and baggage and chatter.

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

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

And I wound up in New Orleans for all those years and it was a great place, really a catalyst creatively.

I read a lot when I’m travelling and always have a couple of books on the go.

England and America are two countries separated by the same language.

I was born in London in England in 1934. I went through, as a child, the horrors of World War II, through a time when food was rationed and we learned to be very careful, and we never had more to eat than what we needed to eat. There was no waste. Everything was used.

Babies don’t need a vacation, but I still see them at the beach… it pisses me off! I’ll go over to a little baby and say ‚What are you doing here? You haven’t worked a day in your life!‘

You learn a lot from traveling around.

I doubt anyone else would have travelled as extensively as I have to meet the citizens of the country.

Ever since I first came here in 1963 to fight Henry Cooper, I have loved the people of England.
