A Quote by Bertrand Russell

Against my will, in the course of my travels, the belief that everything worth knowing was known at Cambridge gradually wore off. In this respect my travels were very useful to me.

It may be true that he travels farthest who travels alone, but the goal thus reached is not worth reaching.

Theodore Roosevelt

I play with toys. I have one plane that travels with me. It travels with the equipment.

Bobby Keys

I have a wonderful road manager, and he travels with me. And my valet and friend travels with me. My little entourage is great, and they take good care of me.

Don Rickles

When you're in zero gravity everything moves at the same speed and nothing stops it. If you throw something it travels forever but it still travels at the speed you threw it at. To make it plausible, movies have chosen to show it in slow motion.

Danny Boyle

One travels to escape from it all, but that is the great illusion: It cannot be done, since one travels with one's mind.

Ella Maillart

Down to Gehenna, or up to the Throne, He travels the fastest who travels alone.

Rudyard Kipling

He travels fastest who travels alone, and that goes double for she. Real feminism is spinsterhood.

Florence King

My favorite was the Silver Surfer growing up. I just thought that his slug line, 'He who travels fastest, always travels alone,' always appealed to me as a kid.

Adrian Pasdar

I wander though China. Without ever having boarded a plane. My travels take place here in the Tokoyo subways, in the backseat of a taxi... all of a sudden this city will start to go. In a flash, the buildings will crumble. Over the Tokyo streets will fall my China, like ash, leaching into everything it touches. Slowly, gradually, until nothing remains. No, this isn't a place for me.

Haruki Murakami

Wherever you go, east, west, north or south, think of it as a journey into yourself! The one who travels into itself travels the world.

Shams Tabrizi

He travels safest in the dark night who travels lightest.

Hernan Cortes

He who travels west travels not only with the sun but with history.

Hal Borland

A man must generally get away some hundreds or thousands of miles from home before he can be said to begin his travels. Why not begin his travels at home? Would he have to go far or look very closely to discover novelties? The traveler who, in this sense, pursues his travels at home, has the advantage at any rate of a long residence in the country to make his observations correct and profitable. Now the American goes to England, while the Englishman comes to America, in order to describe the country.

Henry David Thoreau

I walk outside and scream at the top of my lungs, and it maybe travels two blocks. A whale unleashes his cry, and it travels hundreds or even thousands of miles. Every whale in the ocean will at one time or another run into that song. And I figure whales probably don't edit. If they think it, they say it...Whale talk is the truth, and in a very short period of time, if you're a whale, you know exactly what it is to be you.
