Travellers

Famous quotes containing the word travellers:

“We are like travellers using the cinders of a volcano to roast their eggs. Whilst we see that it always stands ready to clothe what we would say, we cannot avoid the question whether the characters are not significant of themselves.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“We travellers are in very hard circumstances. If we say nothing but what has been said before us, we are dull and have observed nothing. If we tell anything new, we are laughed at as fabulous and romantic.”
—Mary Wortley, Lady Montagu (1689–1762)

“Rosalind. Well, this is the forest of Arden.
Touchstone. Ay, now am I in Arden, the more fool I.
When I was at home, I was in a better place, but travellers must be content.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
