Spirit of
place! It is for this we travel, to surprise its subtlety;
and where it is a strong and dominant angel, that place,
seen once, abides entire in the memory with all its own
accidents, its habits, its breath, its name.
-- Alice Meynell
1847-1922, British Poet,
Essayist
If we are
always arriving and departing, it is also true that we are
eternally anchored. One's destination is never a place but
rather a new way of looking at things.

We travelers
are in very hard circumstances. If we say nothing but what
has been said before us, we are dull and have observed
nothing. If we tell anything new, we are laughed at as
fabulous and romantic.

A man should
ever be ready booted to take his journey.

Traveling is
not just seeing the new; it is also leaving behind. Not just
opening doors; also closing them behind you, never to
return. But the place you have left forever is always there
for you to see whenever you shut your eyes.
-- Jan Myrdal
Most travel is
best of all in the anticipation or the remembering; the
reality has more to do with losing your luggage.
-- Regina Nadelson
