Flying might not be all plain sailing, but the fun of it is worth the price.

If history repeats itself, and the unexpected always happens, how incapable must Man be of learning from experience.

Living is like tearing through a museum. Not until later do you really start absorbing what you saw, thinking about it, looking it up in a book, and remembering – because you can’t take it in all at once.

I shouldn’t be near Vegas and have money in my pocket.

The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science.

Lying in bed would be an altogether perfect and supreme experience if only one had a colored pencil long enough to draw on the ceiling.

Whenever a thing is done for the first time, it releases a little demon.

I’m a career prosecutor. I have been trained, and my experience over decades, is to make decisions after a review of the evidence and the facts. And not to jump up with grand gestures before I’ve done that. Some might interpret that as being cautious. I would tell you that’s just responsible.

I don’t care about age. Nor do I care about those who do not accept the science. I don’t have as much experience, and therefore I listen more. But I also have the right to express my opinion, no matter my age.

I’m one of the most adaptable guys I know in as much as travelling is my favourite thing to do in life. With every place I go, I try to stay there long enough to do it justice, long enough so that I can at least imagine what it would be like to live there. Once I imagine that, then it’s OK for me to return home.

Smell is a potent wizard that transports you across thousands of miles and all the years you have lived.

I saw MotoGP on TV first, before I saw F1 and other types of car racing. It’s what I got more into. It was cool, there was good, exciting racing.

Flying is learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.

We wanted to step off our island and add the color of the third world. We got gold cigarette paper and stuck it around our teeth. We really did look like pirates and dressed to look the part.

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

Sometimes the road less traveled is less traveled for a reason.

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

We learn from experience that men never learn anything from experience.

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

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.

Gliders, sail planes, they’re wonderful flying machines. It’s the closest you can come to being a bird.

Getting in and out of the car with the halo takes a bit of experience. I struggled initially, but after a few trial runs I was fine.

I want to – more than anything – to create a moment that people will never forget. Not for me, but for themselves. That’s what I remember about great Super Bowl performances in the past, when you really get lost in the moment with your family.

If you hold a cat by the tail you learn things you cannot learn any other way.

I don’t fly because of the enormous climate impact of aviation per person.

The traveler sees what he sees, the tourist sees what he has come to see.

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 have visited Japan several times and have always been shown wonderful hospitality.

While on top of Everest, I looked across the valley towards the great peak Makalu and mentally worked out a route about how it could be climbed. It showed me that even though I was standing on top of the world, it wasn’t the end of everything. I was still looking beyond to other interesting challenges.

Buy the ticket, take the ride.

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.

Ideas excite me, and as soon as I get excited, the adrenaline gets going and the next thing I know I’m borrowing energy from the ideas themselves.

The traveller has reached the end of the journey!

To be radical, an empiricism must neither admit into its constructions any element that is not directly experienced, nor exclude from them any element that is directly experienced.

My life is the road, man. I need to keep moving.

Back in Oakland, we have a lot of food in the locker room, but on the road, it’s mostly just fruit. So we have to prepare differently. But really, once you get to the gym, everything on the road is pretty much the same.

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

If I can give you one strong piece of advice, when you go away for that romantic weekend, whatever you do, do not accept or take the upgrade to the honeymoon suite.
