  1. Charles Dickens _ Little Dorrit

    One always begins to forgive a place as soon as it's left behind.

  2. Jack London _ The Road

    Perhaps the greatest charm of tramp-life is the absence of monotony. In Hobo Land the face of life is protean-an ever changing phantasmagoria, where the impossible happens and the unexpected jumps out of the bushes at every turn of the road. The hobo never knows what is going to happen the next moment; hence, he lives only in the present moment. He has learned the futility of telic endeavor, and knows the delight of drifting along with the whimsicalities of Chance

  3. Jon Ronson _ The Psychopath Test: A Journey

    ‎I have panicked unnecessarily in all four corners of the globe.

  4. Anthony Bourdain _ A Cook's Tour: Global

    The journey is part of the experience - an expression of the seriousness of one's intent. One doesn't take the A train to Mecca.

  5. Anthony Bourdain _ Kitchen Confidential:

    Do we really want to travel in hermetically sealed popemobiles through the rural provinces of France, Mexico and the Far East, eating only in Hard Rock Cafes and McDonalds? Or do we want to eat without fear, tearing into the local stew, the humble taqueria's mystery meat, the sincerely offered gift of a lightly grilled fish head? I know what I want. I want it all. I want to try everything once.

  6. Lisa Ann Sandell _ A Map of the Known World

    They say no land remains to be discovered, no continent is left unexplored. But the whole world is out there, waiting, just waiting for me. I want to do things-- I want to walk the rain-soaked streets of London, and drink mint tea in Casablanca. I want to wander the wastelands of the Gobi desert and see a yak. I think my life's ambition is to see a yak. I want to bargain for trinkets in an Arab market in some distant, dusty land. There's so much. But, most of all, I want to do things that will mean something.

  7. John Steinbeck _ Travels with Charley: In

    Montana seems to me to be what a small boy would think Texas is like from hearing Texans

  8. John Steinbeck _ Travels with Charley: In

    I saw in their eyes something I was to see over and over in every part of the nation- a burning desire to go, to move, to get under way, anyplace, away from any Here. They spoke quietly of how they wanted to go someday, to move about, free and unanchored, not toward something but away from something. I saw this look and heard this yearning everywhere in every states I visited. Nearly every American hungers to move.

  9. Robert M. Pirsig _ Zen and the Art of Motorcycle

    People entered the park and became polite and cozy and fakey to each other because the atmosphere of the park made them that way. In the entire time he had lived within a hundred miles of it he had visited it only once or twice.

  10. Robert M. Pirsig _ Zen and the Art of Motorcycle

    So we navigate mostly by dead reckoning, and deduction from what clues we find. I keep a compass in one pocket for overcast days when the sun doesn't show directions and have the map mounted in a special carrier on top of the gas tank where I can keep track of miles from the last junction and know what to look for. With those tools and a lack of pressure to 'get somewhere' it works out fine and we just about have America all to ourselves.

  11. William Styron _ Sophie's Choice

    It was true that I had traveled great distances for one so young, but my spirit had remained landlocked, unacquainted with love and all but a stranger to death…I had absented myself in my smug and airless self-deprivation.

  12. Robert Louis Stevenson _ Edinburgh: Picturesque Notes

    Half a capital and half a country town, the whole city leads a double existence; it has long trances of the one and flashes of the other; like the king of the Black Isles, it is half alive and half a monumental marble.
