I travel because I’d rather look back at my life, saying ‘I can’t believe I did that’ instead of ‘if only I had’.

Better to see something once than to hear about it a thousand times.

Oh, the places you’ll go.

It feels good to be lost in the right direction.

It is never too late to be who you might have been.

The gladdest moment in human life is a departure into unknown lands.

The very basic core of a man’s living spirit is his passion for adventure.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained. And venture belongs to the adventurous.

Why do you go away? So that you can come back. So that you can see the place you came from with new eyes and extra colors. And the people there see you differently, too. Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving.

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming “Wow! What a Ride!”
