I remained faithful and constancy to this love, unlike my other hobbies.

Because it’s mine.” (Elizabeth Gilbert. “Eat, Pray, Love”)

All this will fundamentally change you, and the world will no longer be black and white for you.” (Mark Jenkins)

In my older years I heard assurances that over time my fever would go away, but now that I am fifty-eight years old, I can only hope for a very old age. Nothing has helped so far. Four hoarse steamship whistles make the hair on the back of my neck stand on end, and my feet begin to stamp themselves. I’ll hear the roar of a jet plane, the warming up of the engine, even the clatter of hooves on the pavement - and immediately the eternal trembling throughout the body, dry mouth, wandering eyes, heat in the palms and the stomach rolls somewhere right under the ribs. In other words, there is no recovery; Simply put, the grave will correct the tramp. I'm afraid that my illness is incurable. I am not talking about this for the edification of others, but for my own information.” (John Steinbeck. Travels with Charlie in Search of America)

  - What about cities, rivers, deserts?
  - I don’t know that either.
  - But you are a geographer!
  “That’s it,” said the old man. - I am a geographer, not a traveler. I miss travelers terribly. After all, it is not geographers who count cities, rivers, mountains, seas, oceans and deserts. The geographer is too important a person; he has no time to walk around. He doesn't leave his office." (Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. “The Little Prince”)

This is the pungent smell of spices in the bazaars of Baghdad, this is the rustling of women's bedspreads in the narrow streets of Samarkand, this is the intricacy of calligraphic script on the mosques of Khorezm.

• “A person takes himself with him when he travels. Here he goes beyond his limits, becomes richer in fields, forests, mountains.” (Ernst Simon Bloch)
• “Rejoice! Rejoice! The work of life, its purpose is Joy. Rejoice in the Sky, in the Sun, in the stars, in the grass, in the trees, in the animals, in the people. And make sure that this Joy is not disturbed by anything. This Joy is violated, which means you made a mistake somewhere - look for this mistake and correct it. Everything is in you and everything is now.” (Lev Nikolaevich Tolstoy)

• “I could spend my whole life walking through a new city every day.” (Bill Bryson. “Travels in Europe”)
• “Open your eyes wider, live as greedily as if you will die in ten seconds. Try to see the world. He is more beautiful than any dream created in a factory and paid for with money. Don’t ask for guarantees, don’t seek peace—there is no such beast in the world.” (Ray Bradbury. “Fahrenheit 451”)

• “The road makes us more humble, because we understand how insignificant we are.” (Scott Cameron)
• “The road meant its own special world. You take your bag and staff, go out the door - and you are already a resident of this world, you are a wanderer. Yesterday is forgotten, tomorrow is unknown, you go and look for something beyond the horizon. You don’t know for sure, but you hope that there will be food and a fire, and maybe a roof over your head - preferably low and without stars, but at least endless and with stars. You hum the song under your breath and understand: this world with its dangers and quirks can also be loved.” (Nadeya Yasminska. “Green songs of Ermintia”)
• “To hell with all work if you live only for this! I have worked enough in my life and I can work as well as any of them. Since you and I have been traveling, I have firmly understood one thing: work is not everything in life! Crap! Yes, if all life consisted only of work, then you would need to quickly cut your throat, and goodbye.” (Jack London. “Valley of the Moon”)
• “There are probably few impressions in the world comparable to the feeling experienced early in the morning on a sunlit street about which you know nothing, in a city about which you know nothing, in a crowd of people about whom you know nothing. The joy of discovery bubbles within you, because anything can happen around the next corner. With bated breath, you expect something, like in childhood, when you read about the fairy-tale prince: “And he set off to wander around the world.” Ah, I always liked it when the prince went to wander around the world, because then the adventures began, there you could find a golden apple in the grass, and the galoshes of happiness were just waiting to be put on your feet.” (Astrid Lindgren. “The Adventures of Katya”)
• “Trust life. Wherever fate takes you, travel is necessary. You have to cross the field of life experience and check for yourself where the truth is and where the lie is. And then you can return to your inner center - a soul that has become purified and wiser.” (Louise Hay).
• “If a traveler, returning from distant countries, were to tell us about people completely devoid of stinginess, ambition or vindictiveness, who find pleasure only in friendship, generosity and patriotism, we would immediately, on the basis of these details, discover the falsity in his story and prove that he lies with the same certainty as if he had filled his story with tales of centaurs and dragons, miracles and fables.” (David Hume)

Quotes about diving

• “Diving is like meditation! A person is aware of every moment and every breath. Just imagine, you can live like this all your life - live life to the fullest every moment... every moment...” (from the film “Life Can’t Be Boring” (“Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara”))

St. Augustine

Henry Miller

I could spend my whole life walking around a new city every day

Bill Bryson

For a person who has never traveled, any new place that is somewhat different from his native land looks very tempting. Apart from love, travel brings us the most joy and consolation. For some reason, everything new seems very important to us, and the mind, which in essence only reflects the perceptions of our senses, gives in to the influx of impressions. On the way, you can forget your beloved, dispel grief, and drive away the ghost of death. In the simple expression “I’m leaving” lies a whole world of unresolved feelings.

Theodore Dreiser

Ah, these “current affairs”: even if they all went to hell at the same time, well, at least for a few days; and then we, having freed our souls into “carelessness,” would immediately remember all the important matters, which in the “current bustle” are absolutely impossible for anyone to remember.

V. Rozanov

Rest: what you do when no one is telling you what to do.

Joseph Prendergast

Imagine a thousand people making a journey together; if each of them were observant, then each would write a book of impressions completely different from the others; and yet there would still be a lot of interesting and apt things left to say to someone who would go on the same journey after them.

L. Mercier

If you have absolutely no time to rest, then it’s time to rest.

Sydney Harris

If you can't find time to rest, you'll soon have to find time to heal.

John Wainmaker

When the razor has served its purpose and can no longer be pointed, the barber sets it aside for a few weeks and it sharpens itself. We take care of inanimate objects, but do not take care of ourselves. What kind of strongmen, what kind of thinkers we would become if only from time to time we would put ourselves on the shelf and sharpen ourselves.

Mark Twain

I have learned that there is no better way to find out whether you like or dislike a person than to go on a trip with him.

Travel only with those you love.

Ernest Hemingway

Travel teaches more than anything else. Sometimes one day spent in other places gives more than ten years of life at home.

Anatole France

But, despite everything, travel remains my great and true love. All my life, from my very first trip to Russia at the age of sixteen using the money I saved (sitting with the neighbor’s kids), I knew that I was ready to sacrifice everything for the sake of travel, that I would not regret any money on it. I remained faithful and constancy to this love, unlike my other hobbies. I treat travel the same way a happy mother treats a terrible, colicky, screaming baby around the clock - I absolutely don’t care what challenges await me. Because I love. Because it's mine.

Elizabeth Gilbert

When you travel, the main thing is not to forget that the meaning is in the journey itself, and not in its end. If you rush too much, you will miss the purpose for which you are traveling.

Lamennay Felicite Robert

Travel must be serious work, otherwise it, unless you drink all day long, becomes one of the most bitter and at the same time the most stupid activities.

Gustave Flaubert

Traveling is a flirtation with life. It's like saying: “I would like to stay with you, I would like to love you, but I have to go out, this is my stop.”

Lisa Saint-Aubin-de-Teran

Traveling means debunking other people's misconceptions about other countries.

Aldous Huxley

Tourism turns a traveler into an inspector, his discoveries into an inspection, surprise into a statement, a wanderer into an unbelieving Thomas.
