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.

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.

To travel is to discover that everyone is wrong about other countries.

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.

No matter what, I always make it home for Christmas. I love to go to my Tennessee Mountain Home and invite all of my nieces and nephews and their spouses and kids and do what we all like to do – eat, laugh, trade presents and just enjoy each other… and sometimes I even dress up like Santa Claus!

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

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

Hawaii is paradise. It sounds cheesy to say it, but there’s music in the air there.

Barbecue may not be the road to world peace, but it’s a start.

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

Sevier County is a great area.

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

When all the routines and details and the human bores get on our nerves, we just yearn to go away from here to somewhere else. To go fishing is a sound, a valid, and an accepted reason for an escape. It requires no explanation.

Always there has been some terrible evil at home or some monstrous foreign power that was going to gobble us up if we did not blindly rally behind it.

Akron, Ohio, is my home. It will always be remembered. Akron, Ohio, is my life.

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

When I prepare, I am not messing around. I find the right places, the right people, and the right environment. Iceland is one of those places.

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

Rebellion is what you make of it. When you’ve been on a tour bus for two months straight, and then you get in your car and drive wherever you want, that can feel rebellious.

Africa is probably one of the most beautiful places I have ever been.

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.

Touring is hard on the body.

I’ll stay in Memphis.

If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe.

My sisters like cooking at my place. It has a bit more room, and the food tastes a little bit better. A big pot of spaghetti and sauce, some warm French bread – works all the time. I think I’ve been eating pasta for 26 years.

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

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.

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

The worst way of flying, I think, is standby. It never works. That’s why they call it standby. You end up standing there going, ‚Bye!‘

He is happiest, be he king or peasant, who finds peace in his home.

The vulgar boil, the learned roast, an egg.

My experiences in life are getting bigger and better. The more stuff I do, the more stuff I talk about – having kids, traveling, going through relationship problems, dealing with things in my own family. All that stuff builds character.

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.

Anyone who doesn’t have a great time in San Francisco is pretty much dead to me.

Govern a great nation as you would cook a small fish. Do not overdo it.

Nothing can bring a real sense of security into the home except true love.

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.

I always tell people that if I move anywhere it would be Toronto.

Our houses are such unwieldy property that we are often imprisoned rather than housed by them.

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

The second time around, I’ll understand that, as a husband, my wife doesn’t care about my opinions. I just need to tell her the things that will continue to help me stack the brownie points.

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

I’ve been to Disneyland, like, 10 times. I’m getting really tired of Disneyland.

I never saw a discontented tree. They grip the ground as though they liked it, and though fast rooted they travel about as far as we do.

We lived in a tall, narrow Victorian house, which my parents had bought very cheaply during the war, when everyone thought London was going to be bombed flat. In fact, a V-2 rocket landed a few houses away from ours. I was away with my mother and sister at the time, but my father was in the house.

When I arrived in Laos and found young Americans living there, out of free choice, I was surprised. After only a week, I began to have a sense of the appeal of the country and its people – along with despair about its future.

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

Even though I write about the human race, the further away from them, the better I feel. Two miles is great; two thousand miles is beautiful.

It is better to travel well than to arrive.

The person who grieves suffers his passion to grow upon him; he indulges it, he loves it; but this never happens in the case of actual pain, which no man ever willingly endured for any considerable time.

Until 1914 I loved to travel; I often went to Italy and once spent a few months in India. Since then I have almost entirely abandoned travelling, and I have not been outside of Switzerland for over ten years.

Where thou art, that is home.

I love driving my car on any highway.

I just really want to get music out and tour and go places I’ve never been, and just do more videos. I love photography and videography, and so I really want to direct videos when I can.

All I really had was a suitcase and my drums. So I took them up to Seattle and hoped it would work.

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.

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

I love Velveeta cheese.

But, you know, you can’t be a star at home.

At the age of 6, a teacher full of ambitions, who taught in the small public school of Biran, convinced my family that I should travel to Santiago de Cuba to accompany my older sister who would enter a highly prestigious convent school. Including me was a skill of that very teacher from the little school in Biran.

Exploration by real people inspires us.
