Famous quotes containing the word travel:
“The travel writer seeks the world we have lost—the lost valleys of the imagination.”
—Alexander Cockburn (b. 1941)
“I should like to oblige you, but with people like us, we must be able to travel faster than our clients.”
—Stanley Kubrick (b. 1928)
“Yes, but I do not travel to find comfortable, rich, and hospitable people, or clear sky, or ingots that cost too much. But if there were any magnet that would point to the countries and houses where are the persons who are intrinsically rich and powerful, I would sell all, and buy it, and put myself on the road to-day.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
