“But you can never be ten years old again - or even truly feel like ten years old. Not for an hour, not for a minute.”
― Anthony Bourdain, A Cook's Tour: Global Adventures in Extreme Cuisines

“Traveling makes one modest - you see what a tiny place you occupy in the world.”
― Paul Theroux, Dark Star Safari: Overland from Cairo to Cape Town

“You always judge a place by the last place you were in... It is quite easy in travel to project your own mood onto the place you are in.”
― Paul Theroux, The Happy Isles of Oceania: Paddling the Pacific

“THE JOURNEY ENDS, the traveler goes home, the book gets written. The result, the travel narrative, implies that it has fixed the place forever. But that is a meaningless conceit, for time passes, the written-about place keeps changing. All you do as a note-taking traveler is nail down your own vagrant mood on a particular trip. The traveling writer can do no more than approximate a country.”
