Traveling Quote #1

<< Los sonidos van y vienen, pero el silencio permanece.>>
En cierta ocasión, ta vez cuarenta años atrás, en un hotel mugriento y anónimo al borde del Sahara en la frontera de Mauritania, me depertó el silencio al que se refería el anciano. Pero no fue el silencio, sino la angustia que había adoptado la forma de silencio la que me despertó. No sé cómo explicarlo, yo mismo me transformé, como un animal, en agustia. No sentía miedo de nada, porque me encontraba al límite. Recuerdo el suelo de adobe, el ruido de algo o alguien moviéndose y cómo salí afuera al encuentro del cielo oscuro y la resplandeciente quietud de todas las estrellas. Aquella noche ha quedado escrita en mí con una palabra que ya no soy capaz de leer. A partir de aquel momento opté por una vida que hoy llamo la mía, la existencia del que escribe y describe en el mundo de las apariencias, pero ¿cuántas palabras hay que escribir para ser capaz de leer la única palabra?
Cees Nooteboom

Cat McMahon
Traveling Quote #3

„W miejscach jak ta wysepka wszyscy sie w koncu do siebie upodabniaja. Przybysze, wedrowcy, wlóczedzy zawsze stoja wyzej, poniewaz nie powiedzieli „tak” zadnemu miejscu, a wiec nie oddali sie w niewole. Domy, z których wyruszyli, ulegaja chwilowemu zapomnieniu, zapadaja w niebyt. Ich kraje takze staja sie nierealne, nie mówia o nich tutejsze gazety, nikogo nie obchodza. Tamto zycie, z którego sie na jakis czas ewakuowali, przestaje istniec, co daje iluzje wolnosci. Bez miejsca i imienia, bez znajomosci ich lózek, szaf z ubraniami, ich porannego wstawania, pólek z kosmetykami w lazience, slów, którymi klna, i stron w Internecie, które odwiedzaja. Bo czym mozna jeszcze okreslic ludzi? – Staja sie powtarzalni, wielokrotni. Im mniej jest sie okreslonym, im mniej zaleznym – tym wieksze zludzenie, ze ma sie przed soba wiecej wyborów, kreci sie w glowie od mozliwosci samego siebie, od potencjalnych, nierozwinietych jeszcze lancuchów zdarzen.
Sztuka jest odkryc i utrzymac ten stan zawieszenia, nieopowiadania sie po zadnej ze stron, byc jak preparat w formalinie, który tkwi w przezroczystym plynie, nie dotykajac zadnej ze scian, i obojetnie daje sie ogladac, jakby go sniono. Pozwalac sie snic – po to sa podróze.
Olga Tokarczuk
Traveling Quote #4

A difficult journey is spiritual rewarding.
There is a more dependence on God, His supernatural power, grace and divine favour long the travel.
Lailah Gifty Akita
Traveling Quote #5

A thousand stories had painted cities in his mind, the great cities of kings and queens, of thrones and powers and legends, and Caemlyn fit into those mind-deep pictures and water fits into a jug.
Robert Jordan
Traveling Quote #6

Ada banyak hal yang lebih penting dibandingkan menjadi pusat perhatian.
Alanda Kariza
Traveling Quote #7

After all, one travels in order for things to happen and change; otherwise you might as well stay at home.
Nicolas Bouvier
Traveling Quote #8

AFTER SCHOOL SPECIAL

Dear Mr. Schneider,
I attended your elementary
School almost thirty years ago
And I'm very sure that
You will remember
Me.

My name is Suzy.
I'm that hyperactive girl
From the Egyptian family
Who used to always play dead
On the playground during
Recess.

You used to keep me
After school a lot,
And then my father would
Force me to make the long
Walk home in the cold or rain.
Sometimes I would arrive
After dark.

I'm writing to tell you
That I was bored as a kid.
I was bored by your curriculum
And the way I was always taught a
Bunch of useless
Junk.

I did not like being locked up
In a prison of scheduled time
Learning about irrelevant material,
And watching belittling cartoons and
Shows approved by academia that
Made me even more
Bored.

As a kid
Who was constantly
Growing, evolving, and
Being shaped by all around me,
I wanted to travel,
See other kids
In the world like me,
To understand what was going
On amongst us and around us,
To know what we were here for
And what was our real purpose
For existence.

I have some questions
I would like to ask you, Mr. Schneider,
Now that I know that you are no
Longer a school principal,
But the new superintendent
Of the entire school
District.

I want to know
Why racism today
Was not clearly explained to me
Even though we covered events
That happened long ago.
I want to know why you
Never shared with us
Why other countries
Never liked us,
Why we are taught to compete,
To be divided in teams,
And why conformity is associated
With popularity, while
Eccentricity is considered
Undesirable?

I want to know
Why my cafeteria lunches
Were slammed packed
With bottom-tier
Processed junk food
Only suitable
For pigs?
And why is it
That whenever a bully
Slammed a kid into a locker for
His lunch money,
Nobody explained to us
That egotism, selfishness and greed
Were the seeds of
War?

I want to know
Why we were never taught
To stick up for each other,
To love one another, and that
Segregation sorted by the
Occupations of our fathers,
The neighborhoods we lived in, our houses,
Choices of sport, wealth, clothing,
Color of our skin
And the texture of our hair
Should never, ever
Divide us?

And lastly,
I want to know why
Is it that whenever I pledged
Allegiance to the flag,
I was never told that I was
Actually hailing to the
Chief?

You used to say that
I was a troubled child,
A misfit, and that I needed
Obedience training,
But you never acknowledged that
I was the fastest runner in the district
And that I took the school
To State and Nationals to compete
In the Spelling Bee among kids
Grades higher than me.
And that it was me,
Who won that big trophy
That sat in your office when you
Used to detain me for hours
And tell me I was no
Good.

Mr. Schneider,
If we are not taught truths as kids,
Then how do you expect us to
Grow up to be truthful citizens?
If we are only being taught the written way,
And it has not shown positive effects
In societies of yesterday or today,
Then how can we progress as a
United and compassionate
Nation?
What good is it,
To memorize the histories
Of our forefathers,
Without learning what could be
Gained from their lessons and mistakes
To improve our future
Tomorrows?

And finally,
I want to thank you;
For I know you have a tough job
Dealing with rebellious children like me.
Your job of mass processing and boxing
The young minds of America has not been an easy one,
And I congratulate you
On your recent promotion.
But I sincerely want to thank you,
Thank you,
And thank you,
For always pointing out
That I was
Different.
Suzy Kassem
Traveling Quote #9

Aku rasa, panggilanku adalah mencicipi setiap kamar di semesta ini.
Dini Novita Sari
Traveling Quote #10

All of us,' he said, 'have hopes of being poet, artist, discoverer, philospoher, scientist; of possessing the attributes of all these simultaneously. Few are permitted to achieve any of them in daily life. But in travel we attain them all. Then we have our day of glory, when all our dreams come true, when we can be anything we like, as long as we like, and, when we are tired of it, pull up stakes and move on. Travel -- the solitude of the mountains, the emptiness of the desert, the delicacy of the minaret; eternal change, limitless contrast, unending variety.' (Eric Lang)
Robert Edison Fulton Jr.
Traveling Quote #11

all the disadvantages of good roads: high speed, and almost total lack of that inspiring factor in travel -- the welcoming hand of the interested stranger.
Robert Edison Fulton Jr.
Traveling Quote #12

An unlimited supply of wonder and trust, bolsters life lived as a process of discovery.
Gina Greenlee
Traveling Quote #13

Aprendi que viajar ainda é a melhor forma de alterar a vida, mudar as ideias e abraçar a inspiração, mas devemos estar de olhos bem abertos e ansiosos por agarrá-la, ou é um desperdício.
Adriana Trigiani
Traveling Quote #14

As long as you’re breathing, it’s never too late to reconnect with a long-held love.
Gina Greenlee
Traveling Quote #15

Ask for the godly way,travel its path.
Lailah Gifty Akita
Traveling Quote #16

At chaos’ core lies the invitation.
Gina Greenlee
Traveling Quote #17

At the start of the trip, I took shots of the sights. The Colosseum. Belvedere Palace. Mozart Square. But I stopped. They never came out very well, and you could get postcards of these things.
But there are no postcards of this. Of life.
Gayle Forman
Traveling Quote #18

bahwa satu-satunya hal yang menghalangi kita untuk berkembang dan menjadi lebih maju adalah ketidakpercayaan terhadap diri kita sendiri.
Alanda Kariza
Traveling Quote #19

Be courageous: be still.
Gina Greenlee
Traveling Quote #20

Be who you are. You may not always please but you will never go wrong.
Gina Greenlee
Traveling Quote #21

Because travel was an area of my life where I felt most vital, I wanted to continue to invest in that, too. I had quit a full time job, drained my retirement account to invest in a long-held dream, and used the realization of that dream to enter a void with no guarantees. I didn’t want financial struggle to be the sole outgrowth of the risks I had taken. More than money, I had put my belief systems on the line.
Gina Greenlee
Traveling Quote #22

Behind every beautiful thing, there's some kind of pain.
Bob Dylan
Traveling Quote #23

believe me when i say this.
when you love
someone.
you can
travel the world
in their laugh.
Sanober Khan
Traveling Quote #24

Better to see something once than to hear about it a thousand times.
Asian Proverb
Traveling Quote #25

Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things can not be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.
Mark Twain
Traveling Quote #26

Bukan dari sudah berapa banyak dan jauh suatu tempat yang telah kau kunjungi, tetapi hakikatnya adalah seberapa banyak dan jauh dirimu mengambil kesan dan pelajaran dari suatu tempat tersebut.
Rifqy Faiza Rahman
Traveling Quote #27

But a wide sea voyage severs us at once. It makes us conscious of being cast loose from the secure anchorage of settled life, and sent adrift upon a doubtful world. It interposes a gulf, not merely imaginary, but real, between us and our homes--a gulf, subject to tempest, and fear, and uncertainty, rendering distance palpable, and return precarious.
Washington Irving
Traveling Quote #28

But wherever there is man, there must be some sort of route
Robert Edison Fulton Jr.
Traveling Quote #29

By necessity, we are direct and swift in speech and movement. This is the true dynamic that underlies our apocryphal rudeness. Also true: we do not make eye contact. Neither do we encourage it. Consider the number of humans a New Yorker will pass on a given day – on the subway, in a train or bus terminal, in an office or simply walking down the street. To facilitate speed and minimize drama, it’s productive to keep one’s eyes focused ahead.
Gina Greenlee
Traveling Quote #30

Ce témoignage relate les pérégrinations d’un jeune Afghan à travers beaucoup de pays et plusieurs continents.
A une époque où prendre l’avion était en soi une charmante aventure. Et où le commun des mortels en Occident avait quelque peine à localiser l’obsolète royaume afghan sur une mappemonde.
Il couvre une période allant de 1930 à 1965 environ, révélant au passage la face cachée des monarchies théocratiques et leur cohorte d’arbitraires et d’injustices.
Fateh Emam
