Following the light of the sun, we left the Old World.

When you look at the sun during your walking meditation, the mindfulness of the body helps you to see that the sun is in you; without the sun there is no life at all and suddenly you get in touch with the sun in a different way.

Wherever you go, go with all your heart.

When exploring London, you will come across lots of excitement by chance, so try to take everything in rather than just rushing around to all of the major tourist haunts.

I became a beach bum.

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.

I am confident I will set foot again in Tibet in my lifetime.

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

It is amazing how a new child can refocus one’s direction seconds after its birth.

For an occurrence to become an adventure, it is necessary and sufficient for one to recount it.

We’re introducing separate rooms with double beds in all of our planes so people can actually go with their partner and have a proper night’s sleep.

There is no subject so old that something new cannot be said about it.

The stars shall fade away, the sun himself Grow dim with age, and nature sink in years, But thou shalt flourish in immortal youth, Unhurt amidst the wars of elements, The wrecks of matter, and the crush of worlds.

Love is an adventure and a conquest. It survives and develops, like the universe itself, only by perpetual discovery.

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

The fact is: It’s true what they say about the United States. It is a land of opportunity. It is too various to get bored with it.

The mountains are calling and I must go.

If the Christian is a restorationist, a legalist, if he wants everything clear and safe, then he will find nothing. Tradition and memory of the past must help us to have the courage to open up new areas to God.

New discoveries in science will continue to create a thousand new frontiers for those who still would adventure.

I hope to play until I’m, like, 38 or something, and that’s a lot of years in the game and a lot of travel and a lot of sacrifice on my family’s part.

Sevier County is a great area.

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!

The higher the sun ariseth, the less shadow doth he cast; even so the greater is the goodness, the less doth it covet praise; yet cannot avoid its rewards in honours.

When we understand string theory, we will know how the universe began. It won’t have much effect on how we live, but it is important to understand where we come from and what we can expect to find as we explore.

Where there is an observatory and a telescope, we expect that any eyes will see new worlds at once.

Of course humans like to explore, and we should. There’s nothing wrong with that. But it’s more than that. It’s essential for your children and your children’s children.

I don’t know where I’m going from here, but I promise it won’t be boring.

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

America had often been discovered before Columbus, but it had always been hushed up.

Man, I really like Vegas.

I walk on untrodden ground. There is scarcely any part of my conduct which may not hereafter be drawn into precedent.

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 you are younger, you want to do everything, and you go haywire.

I’ve been to those places where it’s ‚poor, pitiful me.‘

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

A hundred struggle and drown in the breakers. One discovers the new world. But rather, ten times rather, die in the surf, heralding the way to that new world, than stand idly on the shore.

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

The traveller has reached the end of the journey!

The Indians on board said that thence to Cuba was a voyage in their canoes of a day and a half; these being small dug-outs without a sail. Such are their canoes. I departed thence for Cuba, for by the signs the Indians made of its greatness, and of its gold and pearls, I thought that it must be Cipango.

Growing up, my grandmother did not want worldly music in the house. Then when I went out to California, I started listening to Spanish music, mostly Mexican music. But were I in Egypt, I would listen to the music of the people, or if I was in Italy, I’d listen to Italian music.

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

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

More understand China, then more people will have interest in China and more people will come to China to visit us because I am a tourist ambassador.

It’s wonderful to be here in the great state of Chicago.

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

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.

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.

Perhaps one day I will go into space.

When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford.

For the execution of the voyage to the Indies, I did not make use of intelligence, mathematics or maps.

The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.

The harness of waterfalls is the most economical method known for drawing energy from the sun.

Gravity may put the planets into motion, but without the divine Power, it could never put them into such a circulating motion as they have about the Sun; and therefore, for this as well as other reasons, I am compelled to ascribe the frame of this System to an intelligent Agent.

A man can no more diminish God’s glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word, ‚darkness‘ on the walls of his cell.

A dark cloud is no sign that the sun has lost his light; and dark black convictions are no arguments that God has laid aside His mercy.

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

An inconvenience is an adventure wrongly considered.

Work aside, we come to New York for the possibility of interaction and inspiration.

When you’re traveling constantly, every day you become inspired, and it shows in my work, sonically, lyrically, visually. Conversations with women with different accents and stories told in those accents. I like to create characters based on different people I’ve met, and relationships. I like to tell stories loosely based on real-life events.

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.

Personally, I would be delighted if there were a life after death, especially if it permitted me to continue to learn about this world and others, if it gave me a chance to discover how history turns out.
