Pico Iyer
“We travel, initially, to lose ourselves; and we travel, next to find ourselves. We travel to open our hearts and eyes and learn more about the world than our newspapers will accommodate.

Pico Iyer

“A person susceptible to "wanderlust" is not so much addicted to movement as committed to transformation.”

Ray Bradbury
“Love what you do and do what you love. Don't listen to anyone else who tells you not to do it. You do what you want, what you love. Imagination should be the center of your life.”
Ray Bradbury

“Treat a man as he is and he will remain as he is. Treat a man as he can and should be and he will become as he can and should be.”
