Long Walks Quotes

“Solitary walks are great for getting new ideas. It's like you're in a video game and you pick up idea coins on the way.”
― Joyce Rachelle

“Long walks are so dumb. It’s not like a good cardio workout on a treadmill or elliptical machine or anything. You’re not getting your blood pumping enough to reap actual health benefits, and you can’t even watch or look at something worthwhile as you’re doing it.”
― A.D. Aliwat, In Limbo

“I LOVE PHILADELPHIA

When I find myself going up on the scale,
I take long walks on the Schuylkill River Trail”
― Charmaine J. Forde

“During long cross-country wanders, you do glimpse that freedom of pure renunciation. When you walk for a long time, there comes a moment when you no longer know how many hours have passed, or how many more will be needed to get there; you feel on your shoulders the weight of the bare necessities, you tell yourself that’s quite enough – that really nothing more is needed to keep body and soul together – and you feel you could carry on like this for days, for centuries. You can hardly remember where you are going or why; that is as meaningless as your history, or what the time is. And you feel free, because whenever you remember the former signs of your commitments in hell – name, age, profession, CV – it all seems absolutely derisory, minuscule, insubstantial.”
― Frédéric Gros, A Philosophy of Walking
