People
commonly travel the world over to see rivers and mountains,
new stars, garish birds, freak fish, grotesque breeds of
human; they fall into an animal stupor that gapes at
existence and they think they have seen something.
-- Soren Kierkegaard
1813-1855, Danish
Philosopher, Writer
If you look
like your passport picture you're too ill to travel.
-- Will Kommen
The map is not
the territory.
-- Alfred Korzybski
1880-1950, German Writer
A route
differs from a road not only because it is solely intended
for vehicles, but also because it is merely a line that
connects one point with another. A route has no meaning in
itself; its meaning derives entirely from the two points
that it connects. A road is a tribute to space. Every
stretch of road has meaning in itself and invites us to
stop. A route is the triumphant devaluation of space, which
thanks to it has been reduced to a mere obstacle to human
movement and a waste of time.
-- Milan Kundera
1929-, Czech Author, Critic

Thanks to the
interstate highway system, it is now possible to travel
across the country from coast to coast without seeing
anything.
-- Charles Kuralt
American TV Commentator
Without
stirring abroad, one can know the whole world; Without
looking out of the window one can see the way of heaven. The
further one goes the less one knows.
-- Lao-Tzu
BC 600-?, Chinese
Philosopher, Founder of Taoism, Author of the ''Tao Te Ching''
Behold then
Septimus Dodge returning to Dodge-town victorious. Not
crowned with laurel, it is true, but wreathed in lists of
things he has seen and sucked dry. Seen and sucked dry, you
know: Venus de Milo, the Rhine or the Coliseum: swallowed
like so many clams, and left the shells.
-- D. H. Lawrence
1885-1930, British Author
Comes over one
an absolute necessity to move. And what is more, to move in
some particular direction. A double necessity then: to get
on the move, and to know whither.
-- D. H. Lawrence
1885-1930, British Author
