I had a very humane, what the great Russian poet Anna Akhmatova would probably have called 'vegetarian,' experience of migration. It involved planes and trains - the actual compartments of passenger trains - and not grueling walking and riding on the roofs of trains.

For me, the best places to write are on planes, trains and at airports. Not hotel rooms but hotel lobbies. I'm really happy when I'm waiting for a plane and the message comes that it's three hours late. Great, I'll get to write!

Jo Nesbo

Refugees tend to avoid planes, airports and fake passports, even though flying may appear to be the most obvious way to flee. For one thing, security procedures at airports are far stricter than at land borders.

Peter Landesman

Charles was constitutionally incapable of being a constitutional monarch.

Simon Schama

The truth is that I'm constitutionally incapable of doing an ordinary job.

Dylan Moran

No music. No rituals. At home I write in my office or on the laptop in the kitchen where our puppy likes to sleep, and I love his company. But I've trained myself to be able to work anywhere, and I write on trains, planes, in automobiles (if I'm not the driver), airports, hotel rooms. I travel often. If I couldn't write wherever I was I would get little done. I also can write in short bursts. Fifteen minutes are enough to move a story forward.

Gail Carson Levine

My yoga mat comes everywhere. Keeps me stretched out after sitting still on all those planes, trains and road journeys.

Natalie Dormer

Collective states are constitutionally incapable of reliably producing anything but corpses.

I'm a keen traveller, and I'm a nerd with planes and airports.

Michael Landes

I grew up in airports and on air bases. I know what flying and airports can be. And most airports make me feel like we're about three per cent better than ants. Especially U.S. airports. They're zoos. All civility is gone.

Douglas Coupland

Airports and 'leg room' on planes are a form of medieval torture.

Mary E. Pearson

Sometimes it feels like I spend half my time in planes or airports.

Mark Schlereth

There are those airports which make you feel better, and there are those airports that, when you go there, your heart sinks: you can't wait to get out of there. They both function as airports, but it's the things that you can't measure that make them different.
