John Muir
“Few places in this world are more dangerous than home. Fear not, therefore, to try the mountain passes. They will kill care, save you from deadly apathy, set you free, and call forth every faculty into vigorous, enthusiastic action.”
John Muir, The Mountains of California

Elizabeth  Taylor
“Pour yourself a drink, put on some lipstick, and pull yourself together.”
Elizabeth Taylor

Sherman Alexie
“Don't live up to your stereotypes.”
Sherman Alexie

Freya Stark
“To awaken quite alone in a strange town is one of the pleasantest sensations in the world. You are surrounded by adventure. You have no idea of what is in store for you, but you will, if you are wise and know the art of travel, let yourself go on the stream of the unknown and accept whatever comes in the spirit in which the gods may offer it. For this reason your customary thoughts, all except the rarest of your friends, even most of your luggage - everything, in fact, which belongs to your everyday life, is merely a hindrance. The tourist travels in his own atmosphere like a snail in his shell and stands, as it were, on his own perambulating doorstep to look at the continents of the world. But if you discard all this, and sally forth with a leisurely and blank mind, there is no knowing what may not happen to you.”
Freya Stark, Baghdad Sketches

Paul Theroux
“You go away for a long time and return a different person - you never come all the way back.”
Paul Theroux, Dark Star Safari: Overland from Cairo to Cape Town
