Travelling

Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrow-mindedness and many of our people need it sorely in those accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.

Mark Twain, Innocents Abroad

There is a change that takes place in a man or a woman in transit. You see this at its most exaggerated on a ship when whole personalities change. John Steinbeck

You cannot travel the path before you have become the path itself

Buddha

Tourists don't know where they've been, I thought. Travelers don't know where they 're going.

Paul Theroux

Sightseeing was a way of passing time, but ... It was activity very largely based on imaginative invention, like rehearsing your own play in a stage sets from which all the actors had fled. Ibid
