8Quotes and Aphorisms 16.06.2018
Dear readers, continuing the summer spiritual themes, today I would like to talk about travel. Each person puts his own meaning into this word. For some, traveling is a wonderful opportunity to change their usual picture, get out of their comfort zone, try something unknown, maybe even extreme. And some will prefer a comfortable philosophical journey, with a leisurely sightseeing.
But all these people have one thing in common: any trip is a mass of positive emotions, bright colors, it is a relaxation of the soul and liberation from the confines of routine everyday life. This is exactly what is said so beautifully and accurately in quotes and aphorisms about travel.
How travel changes people
Chinese folk wisdom says that no one returns from a trip the same as he was before. And I absolutely agree with this. After all, when we find ourselves in a world different from everyday life, we ourselves change. Everything around us is new, unusual, and we ourselves can throw off all the burden of everyday life, along with boring office and city clothes. How wonderfully this is said in quotes and aphorisms about travel!
“There’s something magical about it: you leave one person and come back a completely different person.”
Kate Douglas Wiggen
“The true purpose of your journey is not a place on the map, but a new perspective on life.”
Henry Miller
“When traveling, do not concentrate on yourself, listen carefully to those around you and look around with curiosity. As long as a person feels that the most important and significant phenomenon in the world is his person, he will never be able to truly experience the world around him. Like a blinkered horse, he sees nothing in him but himself.”
Carlos Castaneda
“Travel leaves you speechless and then turns you into a better storyteller.”
Ibn Battuta
“How I love feeling faceless in a city I’ve never been to before.”
Bill Bryson
“Waking up in an unfamiliar city one morning is the most pleasant feeling in the world.”
Fraya Stark
“Don’t tell me what you know, tell me how far you’ve been.”
prophet muhammed
“At first, we go on journeys to lose ourselves, and then we go all the way and find ourselves. We embark on travel to open our eyes and hearts, to learn something new, something that is not published in newspapers and textbooks. We travel to bring into the world what little we are capable of, what our knowledge allows us to do. And we travel to slow down time and fall in love like youth.”
Pico Iyer
“Adventure is the journey. True adventure is undertaken by self-determined, driven people. And as a rule, it is always risky. Sometimes you have to “eat straight from the hands of fate.” Only after traveling a sufficient distance will you encounter true gratuitous kindness and boundless cruelty and realize that you are capable of both. All this will fundamentally change you, and the world will no longer be black and white for you.”
Mark Jenkins
“Travel, as the greatest science and serious science, helps us to find ourselves again.”
Albert Camus
“When a person wanders, he, without noticing it, experiences a rebirth. Every now and then he finds himself in situations that are new to him, his days are long, and most often a language unknown to him is heard around him. He is like a baby who has just left his mother's womb. And he pays much more attention to what surrounds him, because it determines whether he will survive or not. He becomes more accessible to people, because they can come to his aid in difficult times. And he perceives the fleeting mercy of the gods with jubilation and will remember it until the end of his days. And at the same time, since everything is new to him, he notices only beauty and is happy simply because he lives.”
Paulo Coelho
Life is motion
We are all familiar with the old saying that movement is life. This applies to everything – to work, to worldview, but most of all – to travel. After all, travel is movement, movement forward. Lie down and watch life go by? No, it's not for me! Getting new impressions and emotions, getting to know new places - this is what a real full life is! This could not be better said in quotes and aphorisms about travel and life.
“I travel not to arrive somewhere, but to go. The main thing is movement."
Robert Louis Stevenson
“It is not necessary to live. Traveling is necessary."
William Burroughs
“Move, breathe, soar, swim, receive what you give, explore, travel - this is what it means to LIVE.”
Hans Christian Andersen
“Whoever does not travel does not know the real value of human life”
Moorish proverb
“Life is either a desperate adventure or nothing.”
Hellen Keller
“Only roads can delay old age. When you drive all the time and go to bed, knowing that the alarm clock will wake you up at night in order to catch a plane that is going God knows where and in general God knows why you are flying on it, then time stands still.”
Yulian Semenov
“Trains are amazing; I still adore them. Traveling by train means seeing nature, people, cities and churches - in essence, it is a journey through life.”
“Life while traveling is a dream in its purest form.”
Agatha Christie
“Adventures give us joy. But joy, after all, is the purpose of life. We do not live to eat or make money. We eat and earn money so that we can be happy. This is the meaning of life, and this is what it is given for.”
George Mallory
“We will regret only two things on our deathbed - that we loved little and traveled little.”
Mark Twain
"Life is motion. As soon as the movement ends, the river of life turns into a swamp.”
About dreams and travel
Sometimes it is very difficult for a person who has led a measured and organized life for a long time to leave his comfort zone and go on a trip. Don't be afraid to change the picture! After all, our world is so diverse and interesting. Dream about traveling and make your dreams come true! How correctly this is said in quotes and aphorisms about travel and dreams.
“Try to see the world. It is more beautiful than any dream created in a factory and paid for with money.”
“Look at the world. It’s much more amazing than dreams.”
Ray Bradberry
“A journey is like a book, and those who do not travel read only one page all the time.”
Saint Augustine
“A journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step.”
“Never be afraid to travel away from seas, borders, countries and thoughts.”
Amin Maalouf
“In 20 years you will regret more the things you didn't do than the things you did do. So cut the ropes, catch a fair wind, sail away from the safe harbor, explore, dream, discover.”
Mark Twain
“I always wonder why birds stay put when they can fly anywhere. And then I ask myself the same question.”
Harun Yahya
“Attachment to things and comfort is the main obstacle to an interesting life. People, as a rule, do not realize that at any moment they can throw anything out of their lives. Anytime. Instantly".
“Seek and see miracles all around you. You get tired of looking at yourself, and this fatigue makes you deaf and blind everywhere to everything else.”
Carlos Castaneda
“If you are young, healthy and eager to learn new things, then I implore you - travel. And go as far as possible. Sleep on bare ground if you have to, but be true to the idea. Learn from people about life, learn from them how to cook, how to cook and everything in general, wherever you go.”
Anthony Bordian
“If you can randomly make your way to your own bed in complete darkness without hurting yourself, then it’s time to travel.”
Boris Krieger
“For those who have just walked out the door, the hardest part is behind them.”
Dutch proverb
Travel is an investment in yourself
I really love learning something new. And where better to do this if not while traveling? Reading about mountains and climbing a mountain yourself at least once are completely different things. When traveling, you meet new people, get acquainted with new cultures and customs. Of course, this broadens our horizons, and in an easy and natural way. Aphorisms and quotes about travel only confirm this.
“You shouldn’t call someone brave who has never walked hundreds of kilometers. If you want to understand who you really are, go and walk until there are no one left around who knows you by name. Travel is the great equalizer, the great teacher, bitter as medicine and hard as a mirror.”
“A long journey will allow you to learn more about yourself than a hundred years of quiet contemplation.”
Patrick Rothfuss
“Travel is deadly to prejudice, bigotry and narrow-mindedness.”
“When you travel without knowing English, you begin to understand what it means to be born deaf and dumb.”
Philippe Bouvard
“Nothing develops the mind like travel.”
Emile Zola
“Travel is necessary for those who study.”
Mark Twain
“An investment in travel is an investment in yourself.”
Matthew Karsten
“If you pour the contents of your wallet into your head, no one will take it away from you.”
Benjamin Franklin
“They say that travel is the best way to educate yourself in everything: it’s true, it’s definitely true! You will learn so much here.”
Nikolai Chernyshevsky
“Travel is like the greatest science and serious science that helps us find ourselves again.”
Albert Camus
“Travel teaches more than anything else. Sometimes one day spent in other places gives more than ten years of life at home.”
Anatole France
“Don't compare. Don’t compare anything: neither prices, nor cleanliness, nor quality of life, nor transport. Nothing! You don't travel to prove that you have a better life. Get to know the lives of others and find what you can learn from them.”
Paulo Coelho
“Travel helps you understand the beauty of space and the pricelessness of time. They increase your horizons and reduce the level of denseness.”
Georgy Alexandrov
“Wandering is the best thing in the world. When you wander, you grow rapidly, and everything you see is reflected even in your appearance. I recognize people who have traveled a lot from thousands. Wanderings purify, intertwine meetings, centuries, books and love. They make us related to the sky. If we have received the unproven happiness of being born, then we must at least see the earth.”
Konstantin Paustovsky
About tourists and travelers
They say that there are travelers and there are tourists. The differences between them are not only in the duration of the trip and the route schedule. Travelers do not make plans; they are spontaneous in their search for novelty. A tourist’s time is limited by the schedule drawn up by the guide and travel agency. But we can bring an element of adventure even to an ordinary beach holiday! One has only to deviate a little from the well-trodden tourist routes, wander into the ancient narrow streets of the cities - and we will feel like real pioneers. How aptly this is said in quotes and aphorisms about travel and travelers!
“A tourist, as soon as he arrives somewhere, immediately begins to want to go back. And the traveler... He may not return..."
Paul Bowles
“The most wonderful thing that can happen to a traveler is to stumble upon something he was not looking for.”
Lawrence Block
“The traveler sees what he sees, the tourist sees what he came to see.”
Gilbert Keith Chesterton
“I have learned that there is no better way to find out whether you like or dislike someone than to travel with them.”
Mark Twain
“Like all great travelers, I have seen more than I remember, and I remember more than I have seen.”
Benjamin Disraeli
“A good traveler is one who does not know where he is going. And the ideal traveler doesn’t even know where he came from.”
Liying Yutan
“A person who travels a lot is like a stone carried by water for many hundreds of miles: its roughness is smoothed out, and everything in it takes on soft, rounded shapes.”
Elisée Reclus
“Be travelers, not tourists. Try new things, meet new people, and go beyond what's right in front of your nose. These are the keys to understanding this amazing world in which we live."
Andrew Zimmerman
“I am no longer the same person who looked at the shining moon on the other side of the planet.”
Marie Anne Radmacher
“For a person who has never traveled, any new place that is somewhat different from his native land looks very tempting. Apart from love, travel brings us the most joy and consolation. For some reason, everything new seems very important to us, and the mind, which in essence only reflects the perceptions of our senses, gives in to the influx of impressions. On the way, you can forget your beloved, dispel grief, and drive away the ghost of death. In the simple expression “I’m leaving” lies a whole world of feelings that cannot find an outlet.”
Theodore Dreiser
“Every journey has its own secret destination, of which the traveler himself has no idea.”
Martin Buber
Being a guest is good, but being at home is better
Traveling is always great! The mood is lifted already at the moment of thinking and thinking about where to go, and the adventures begin already at the stage of collecting luggage. It’s also a way to get a dose of inspiration to do what you love after returning from vacation. It seems to me that returning home with new emotions and impressions is another beauty of travel. This is exactly what is discussed in aphorisms and quotes about traveling and returning home.
“No one realizes the pleasure of travel until he returns home and rests his head on his favorite pillow.”
And if it comes to the point between two close people that they absolutely must talk about something, then no matter how much they talk, they will never agree on anything. It’s good to speak when there is happiness behind the words, when the words flow easily and freely. And when a person is unhappy, can such untrue, unreliable things as words help him? They only make it harder. (“Return”)
Does this darkness have a name? This cruelty, this hatred, how did it find us? Did she sneak into our lives, or did we find and accept it ourselves? What happened to us? We send our children into the world as if they were going to war, hoping for their return, but knowing that some will die along the way. When did we lose our way? We are enveloped in shadows and swallowed by darkness. Does this darkness have a name? Maybe this is your name?
We will die, and that makes us lucky. Most people will never die because they will never be born. The number of potential people who could be here in my place, but will never actually see the light of day, is much greater than the grains of sand in the Sahara. Of course, among the ranks of unborn ghosts there are poets greater than Keats, scientists greater than Newton. We know this because the set of people allowed by our DNA is incomparably larger than the set of real people. And from the jaws of these meager chances of birth, the ordinary you and I escaped. We are a privileged bunch of people who, against all odds, won the birth lottery. How dare we complain about our inevitable return to a state from which the vast majority were never born.
There are times when the pain is so strong that it is impossible to breathe. Nature came up with a cunning mechanism and tested it repeatedly. You gasp, instinctively try to cope with the suffocation and for a moment forget about the pain. Then you are afraid of the return of suffocation and thanks to this you can survive the grief. There, near the grave, I could not breathe. It happened to me there for the first time.
Tom woke up on Monday morning feeling very unhappy. He always felt miserable on Monday morning, as that day began a new week of long torment at school. He even wished then that there would be no resurrections in his life at all, since after a short freedom the return to prison would be even more difficult.
