“And if travel is like love, it is, in the end, mostly because it is a heightened state of awareness, in which we are mindful, receptive, undimmed by familiarity and ready to be transformed. That is why the best trips, like the best relationships, never really end”.

~Pico Lyer

"I only went out for a walk and finally concluded to stay out till sundown, for going out, I found, was really going in."

~John Muir

“I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry rot. I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. The function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days trying to prolong them. I shall use my time.

~ Jack London

“All I want is an all absorbing, ceaseless occupation for mind & body. Adventurous service would suit me best”.
