Suitcases Quotes

“Anyone who needs more than one suitcase is a tourist, not a traveler”
― Ira Levin, Rosemary’s Baby

“The thing is, it's really hard to be roommates with people if your suitcases are much better than theirs - if yours are really good ones and theirs aren't. You think if they're intelligent and all, the other person, and have a good sense of humor, that they don't give a damn whose suitcases are better, but they do.”
― J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye

“That's a big trunk," James said, as we jammed in the leathery old case that looked so much like the black heart of some leviathan. "It fits a tuba, three suitcases, a dead dog, and a garment bag almost perfectly."

"That's just what they used to say in the ads," I said...”
― Michael Chabon, Wonder Boys

“Today I slipped into the bag between two shoes that book
which begins with a father digging--even though my father
was no farmer & planted ever only one myrtle late in his life
& sat in the yard all that summer watching it grow as he died,
a green tank of oxygen suspirating behind him. If the suitcase
were any larger, no one could lift it. I'm going away for a long time,
but it may not be forever. There are tragedies I haven't read.”
― Kathleen Graber, The Eternal City: Poems

“Preparing to Travel

In my suitcase
I pack
neither clothes nor shoes

I take
the mountain and valley
so that my back turned
nothing will happen

Not summer nor winter”
― Elisabeth Borchers, Fish Magic: Selected Poems
