    Robert W. Service
    “There's a race of men that don't fit in,
    A race that can't sit still;
    So they break the hearts of kith and kin, And they roam the world at will.
    They range the field and rove the flood,
    And they climb the mountain's crest; Their's is the curse of the gypsy blood,
    And they don't know how to rest.”
    ― Robert Service

    Elisabeth Eaves
    “I know it's not strictly sex that accounts for my straying the motive usually attributed to men. I think it's just too tempting to have two lives rather than one. Some people think that too much travel begets infidelity: Separation and opportunity test the bonds of love. I think it's more likely that people who hate to make choices to settle on one thing or another are attracted to travel. Travel doesn't beget a double life. The appeal of the double life begets travel.”

    Jonathan Safran Foer
    “A map such as that one is worth many hundreds, and as luck will have it, thousands of dollars. But more than this, it is a remembrance of that time before our planet was so small. When this map was made, I thought, you could live without knowing where you were not living.”

    Jack Kerouac
    “[...]the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes “Awww!”
