Famous quotes containing the word travelling:
“In America there are two classes of travel—first class, and with children. Travelling with children corresponds roughly to travelling third-class in Bulgaria. They tell me there is nothing lower in the world than third-class Bulgarian travel.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
