“You will never be able to escape from your heart. So it's better to listen to what it has to say. That way, you'll never have to fear an unanticipated blow.”

“For first-time vagabonders, this can be one of the hardest travel lessons to grasp, since it will seem that there are so many amazing sights and experiences to squeeze in. You must keep in mind, however, that the whole point of long-term travel is having the time to move deliberately through the world. Vagabonding is about not merely reallotting a portion of your life for travel but rediscovering the entire concept of time. At home, you’re conditioned to get to the point and get things done, to favor goals and efficiency over moment-by-moment distinction. On the road, you learn to improvise your days, take a second look at everything you see, and not obsess over your schedule.”

“Do you realize how many events, choices, that had to occur since the birth of the universe leading up to the making of you? Just exactly the way you are. - Mrs. Which (A Wrinkle in Time - movie)”

“Vagabonding is about using the prosperity and possibility of the information age to increase your personal options instead of your personal possessions.”
