6. Defining the Journey
Quotable Quotes

7. Laurens van der Post
A voyage to a destination, wherever that may be, is also a voyage inside oneself; even as a cyclone carries along with it the centre in which it must ultimately come to rest.
It is always like that with journeys. One is as sad at the end as at the beginning; the reward lies in between.

8. Proverb
If you want to know a man, make a solitary journey with him.

9. Lawrence Durrell, from Bitter Lemons
Journeys, like artists, are born not made. A thousand differing circumstances contribute to them, few of them willed or determined by the will – whatever we may think. They flower spontaneously out of the demands of our natures – and the best of them lead not only outwards in space, but inwards as well.

10. African Proverb
He who travels much doubts many things

11. George Moore
A man travels the world over in search of what he needs, and returns home to find it.
