Les Quotes...

...that I aime:


"The World is a book and those who do not travel read only a page." St. Augustine


"Those who know nothing of foreign languages know nothing of their own" Goethe


"Remember what Bilbo used to say: It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to.”--JRR Tolkein


"Experience, travel--These are as education in themselves" Euripides


“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.” --Maya Angelou


“You lose sight of things... and when you travel, everything balances out.” --Daranna Gidel


“Certainly, travel is more than the seeing of sights; it is a change that goes on, deep and permanent, in the ideas of living.”--Miriam Beard


“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness.”--Mark Twain


"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."--G.K. Chesterton
