Reasons to travel

The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.
– St. Augustine





Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness.
-Mark Twain



Traveling is a brutality. It forces you to trust strangers and to lose sight of all that familiar comfort of home and friends. You are constantly off balance. Nothing is yours except the essential things – air, sleep, dreams, the sea, the sky – all things tending towards the eternal or what we imagine of it. 
– Cesare Pavese




Travel is more than the seeing of sights; it is a change that goes on, deep and permanent, in the ideas of living. 
– Miriam Beard


 Though we travel the world to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us, or we find it not.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
