Famous quotes containing the words travel and/or channel:
“Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us, or we find it not.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Children belong in families, which, ideally, serve as a sanctuary and a cushion from the world at large. Parents belong to society and are a part of that greater world. Sometimes parents are a channel to the larger society, sometimes they are a shield from it. Ideally they act as filters, guiding their children and teaching them to avoid the tempting trash.”
—Louise Hart (20th century)
