8. “Earlier I’ve done whatever I could get my hands on to do for a living. I tried a couple of different things, but kitchen work was the best for me, because I took to a nomadic lifestyle before I started doing comedy. If you travel and get to a town and need a job, restaurants are always there.”
Mitch Hedberg

21. “I would say to her, in that mixed river language we used, "One day, Beth, somebody will snatch your case. It isn’t safe to travel about with money like that." "The day that happens, Mis’ Salim, I will know the time has come to stay home." It was a strange way of thinking. But she was a strange woman.” V.S. Naipaul Caution, Perspective, Experience, Fate, Travel
23. “Before I left China, I was educated that China was the richest, happiest country in the world. So when I arrived Australia, I thought, 'Oh my God, everything is different from what I was told.'

24. “The more I come to know about the outside world's perception of China, the more I feel there are all sorts of misunderstandings, and to a certain extent, people do not get the full picture from the media. A lot of foreigners have few opportunities to visit China, and a lot of Chinese people do not have the chance to go to Europe or to the West.” Jack Ma Perception, Culture, Media, Understanding, Travel
33. “I had a great dislike to the annoyances entailed by baggage; and it was always with some feeling of elation that I cut myself free from everything but what I could carry about me. Like children, portmanteaus and trunks are hostages to fortune.” Herbert Spencer Simplicity, Freedom, Possessions, Travel, Burden
36. “Travelling doesn’t make a man a doctor or a public speaker: there isn’t a single art which is acquired merely by being in one place rather than another. Can wisdom, then, the greatest art of all, be picked up in the course of taking a trip? Take my word for it, the trip doesn’t exist that can set you beyond the reach of cravings, fits of temper, or fears.” Seneca Wisdom, Learning, Travel, Growth, Self-Improvement
39. “Everywhere means nowhere. When a person spends all his time in foreign travel, he ends by having many acquaintances, but no friends. And the same thing must hold true of men who seek intimate acquaintance with no single author, but visit them all in a hasty and hurried manner.” Seneca Travel, Friendship, Learning, Superficiality, Depth
40. “But travel won’t make a better or saner man of you. For this we must spend time in study and in the writings of wise men, to learn the truths that have emerged from their researches, and carry on the search ourselves for the answers that have not yet been discovered.” Seneca Travel, Wisdom, Study, Learning, Knowledge
48. “Coming delights, like tropical beaches, send out their native enchantment over the vast spaces that precede them – a perfumed breeze that lulls and drugs you out of all anxiety as to what may yet await you below the horizon.” Gustave Flaubert Anticipation, Joy, Travel, Enchantment, Future Hopes
