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

I like being comfortable at airports, in flip-flops with no jewelry on.

When I have been travelling around to speak in different countries, I am always offered help to write about the specific climate policies in specific countries. But that is not really necessary. Because the basic problem is the same everywhere.

Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never were. But without it we go nowhere.

If you are the kind of person who is waiting for the ‚right‘ thing to happen, you might wait for a long time. It’s like waiting for all the traffic lights to be green for five miles before starting the trip.

Man, I really like Vegas.

The road to perdition has ever been accompanied by lip service to an ideal.

Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends.

In all my wild mountaineering, I have enjoyed only one avalanche ride; and the start was so sudden, and the end came so soon, I thought but little of the danger that goes with this sort of travel, though one thinks fast at such times.

It’s not the destination that matters. It’s the change of scene.

Generally speaking, a howling wilderness does not howl: it is the imagination of the traveler that does the howling.

On life’s vast ocean diversely we sail. Reasons the card, but passion the gale.

I love to travel, but hate to arrive.

Wherever you go, go with all your heart.

No one remembers who climbed Mount Everest the second time.

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

I love traveling all over the world; but it’s true: there’s nothing like home.

For novelists or musicians, if they really want to create something, they need to go downstairs and find a passage to get into the second basement. What I want to do is go down there, but still stay sane.

A journey is like marriage. The certain way to be wrong is to think you control it.

Science has explained nothing; the more we know the more fantastic the world becomes and the profounder the surrounding darkness.

The use of travelling is to regulate imagination by reality, and instead of thinking how things may be, to see them as they are.

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.

U2’s best work has always been when we didn’t know what we’re doing.

I guess I wanted to leave America for awhile. It wasn’t that I wanted to become an expatriate, or just never come back, I needed some breathing room. I’d already been translating French poetry, I’d been to Paris once before and liked it very much, and so I just went.

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.

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.

I need more sex, OK? Before I die I wanna taste everyone in the world.

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

The fishermen know that the sea is dangerous and the storm terrible, but they have never found these dangers sufficient reason for remaining ashore.

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.

Just got back from a pleasure trip: I took my mother-in-law to the airport.

Traveling around the world and preaching for over 70 years did not give much time for reflection.

The word ‚romance,‘ according to the dictionary, means excitement, adventure, and something extremely real. Romance should last a lifetime.

I’m really good at sleeping on planes. I mean, I smell jet fuel and I’m out; I’m asleep for takeoff.

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

The whole object of travel is not to set foot on foreign land; it is at last to set foot on one’s own country as a foreign land.

For time is the longest distance between two places.

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

Peace is a journey of a thousand miles and it must be taken one step at a time.

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

I have enjoyed great satisfaction from my climb of Everest and my trips to the poles. But there’s no doubt that my most worthwhile things have been the building of schools and medical clinics.

Contrary to popular belief, I don’t spend a whole lot of time following soccer. But as I have traveled around the world to better understand global development and health, I’ve learned that soccer is truly universal. No matter where I go, that’s what kids are playing. That’s what people are talking about.

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

Astronomy compels the soul to look upwards and leads us from this world to another.

One of the things that we’re trying to do with Creative Labs and all our experiences is explore things that aren’t all tied to Facebook identity. Some things will be, but not everything will have to be, because there are some sets of experiences that are just better with other identities.

With all of their benefits, and there are many, one of the things I regret about e-books is that they have taken away the necessity of trawling foreign bookshops or the shelves of holiday houses to find something to read. I’ve come across gems and stinkers that way, and both can be fun.

To reach a port, we must sail – sail, not tie at anchor – sail, not drift.

Adventure is worthwhile in itself.

When you dance, your purpose is not to get to a certain place on the floor. It’s to enjoy each step along the way.

Travel, in the younger sort, is a part of education; in the elder, a part of experience.

I have wanted to fly into space for many years, but never imagined it would really be feasible.

I came to China to follow my star and to steep myself in the raw regions of the universe.

Italy, and the spring and first love all together should suffice to make the gloomiest person happy.

Mountains are the beginning and the end of all natural scenery.

I was born in Europe… and I’ve traveled all over the world. I can tell you that there is no place, no country, that is more compassionate, more generous, more accepting, and more welcoming than the United States of America.
