I don't much enjoy travelling, but I have always longed to take a slow train to Russia. I'd like to go alone - like writers do - with only a pencil and piece of paper as company. I'd take my sketchbook and note down all the wonderful details of other travellers.

There's no way that I could have known about a 72-oz. steak challenge in Amarillo unless thousands upon thousands of locals and travellers alike had attempted it. I guess if 'Man V Food' is me paying homage to these legends, then I suppose 'Man V Food Nation' is the legacy.

I am a very eco-friendly chef but a guilty air traveller.

Alain Ducasse

Travel Very Traveller

Your true traveller finds boredom rather agreeable than painful. It is the symbol of his liberty - his excessive freedom. He accepts his boredom, when it comes, not merely philosophically, but almost with pleasure.

Aldous Huxley

Travel Freedom Your

We should have scant notion of the gardens of these New England colonists in the seventeenth century were it not for a cheerful traveller named John Josselyn, a man of everyday tastes and much inquisitiveness, and the pleasing literary style which comes from directness, and an absence of self-consciousness.

Alice Morse Earle

I see myself as a traveller.

Annie Lennox

Either I am rootless or I have my roots spread out so much that I cannot spot my primary root. I believe in Camus' philosophy - It is important to be a traveller without a baggage.

Ashish Vidyarthi

I'm essentially a traveller. I love to do many things.

Ned made a tremendous rattling, at which Bullet took fright, broke his bridle, and dashed off in grand style; and would have stopped all farther negotiations by going home in disgust, had not a traveller arrested him and brought him back; but Kit did not move.

Augustus Baldwin Longstreet

Travel Men Home

I cannot assume emotions I do not feel, and must describe Jerusalem as I found it. Since being here, I have read the accounts of several travellers, and in many cases the devotional rhapsodies - the ecstacies of awe and reverence - in which they indulge, strike me as forced and affected.

Bayard Taylor

Like all great travellers, I have seen more than I remember, and remember more than I have seen.

Benjamin Disraeli

Travel Great Traveller

The region west of the Mississippi continued in the popular mind to be a strange land for which the reports of explorers and travellers did the work of fiction, and Cooper's Prairie had few followers.

Carl Clinton Van Doren

I could become very rich in Guatemala but by the low method of ratifying my title, opening a clinic, and specialising in allergies. To do that would be the most horrible betrayal of the two 'I's' struggling inside me: the socialist and the traveller.

I didn't have any expectations with 'Traveller' - I don't think anybody did. That's how I prefer the process to be.

Chris Stapleton

My wife has great taste in everything but men. The vast majority of the songs on my debut album, 'Traveller,' came from lists she made.

One thing you can guarantee with the Travellers, they've got a lot of heart.

I've become a less brave traveller since I became a dad, but in the past I was more foolhardy than brave.

My parents took me around the world when I was young, so I caught the bug. Every person is different when he travels, and every travellers' story is uniquely his own.

The traveller has reached the end of the journey!

Edmund Burke

The true traveller is the one urged to move about for physical, aesthetic, intellectual as well as spiritual reasons.

Ella Maillart

Travel Well Urge

Certain travellers give the impression that they keep moving because only then do they feel fully alive.

Ella Maillart

All travellers who had preceded me into the Barren Grounds had relied on the abundant game, and in consequence suffered dreadful hardships; in some cases even starved to death.

Ernest Thompson Seton

The vast concourse of people who had assembled to witness the triumphant arrival of the successful travellers was of the lowest orders of mechanics and artisans, among whom great distress and a dangerous spirit of discontent with the government at that time prevailed.

Fanny Kemble

Rather than allowing Roma, Travellers and homeless people to be picked off, all those of us who fear the criminalisation of trespass should join forces with them, protecting their rights while we defend our own.

George Monbiot

Both business and leisure travellers are enjoying unprecedented levels of choice.

Gillian Tans

We tax air passengers like cigarettes and alcohol - we impose sin taxes on travellers.

Gordon Bethune

But are not the dreams of poets and the tales of travellers notoriously false?

H. P. Lovecraft

No traveller ever sets out with so little idea of where he is going or how he is going to get there than an artist does. And no traveller ever gets to a more wonderful place.

Howard Jacobson

I have always considered it a beautiful metaphor that Cervantes had no fixed address in Spain. He is thus everywhere and nowhere. There are a number of sites connected with his life, but none attract hordes of travellers the way Stratford-upon-Avon and the Globe Theatre in London draw Shakespeare aficionados.

Ilan Stavans

A traveller must buy his own experience, and success or failure depends mainly on personal idiosyncrasies.

Isabella Bird

The traveller who aspires to reach the highlands of Tibet from Kashmir cannot be borne along in a carriage or hill-cart. For much of the way, he is limited to a foot pace, and if he has regard to his horse, he walks down all rugged and steep descents, which are many, and dismounts at most bridges.

Isabella Bird

The Tigris is so fierce and rapid, and swallows its alluvial banks so greedily, that it is probable that some of the buildings described by the Hebrew traveller Benjamin of Tudela as existing in the twelfth century were long since carried away.

Isabella Bird

I went to the States with that amount of prejudice which seems the birthright of every English person, but I found that, under the knowledge of the Americans which can be attained by a traveller mixing in society in every grade, these prejudices gradually melted away.

Isabella Bird

No man can be a politician, except he be first a historian or a traveller; for except he can see what must be, or what may be, he is no politician.

James Harrington

Today the traveller on the Nile enters a wonderland at whose gates rise the colossal pyramids of which he has had visions perhaps from earliest childhood.

James Henry Breasted

I don't much enjoy travelling, but I have always longed to take a slow train to Russia. I'd like to go alone - like writers do - with only a pencil and piece of paper as company. I'd take my sketchbook and note down all the wonderful details of other travellers.

Jane Birkin

I'm not a Little Englander. Historically, British people have always been travellers. I look in the world as one place. You have to think in a global sense. Cinema is a global endeavour. My roots are in England but my endeavours are worldwide.

Jeremy Thomas

Our bodies will be recycled one way or another, but what about our ideas and minds and characters? Primordial soup? The bourne from which no traveller returns? Interesting and exciting.

Joanna Lumley

The stars, that nature hung in heaven, and filled their lamps with everlasting oil, give due light to the misled and lonely traveller.

John Milton

I have realised how exciting and easy it is to be a time traveller by looking at paintings and films and architecture and playing music or listening to it. I don't think you necessarily have to live in the present all the time.

Jools Holland

The road to ruin is always in good repair, and the travellers pay the expense of it.

Josh Billings

I just love doing costume dramas; I am very lucky, as I see myself as a part-time time traveller.

Julia Sawalha

If you want more kids to become engineers in space, travellers, and pilots, then you have to expose them to those types of careers.

Julie Payette

The traveller with empty pockets will sing in the thief 's face.

Juvenal

A traveller on foot in this country seems to be considered as a sort of wild man or out-of-the way being, who is stared at, pitied, suspected, and shunned by everybody that meets him.

Karl Philipp Moritz

I remember being in Vietnam in my early 20s, at the height of Lonely Planet's fame, and all the travellers would converge on internet cafes to send emails back home. It was a great place to exchange tips and recommendations, so you actually interacted with people.

Konnie Huq

A good traveller is one who does not know where he is going to, and a perfect traveller does not know where he came from.

Lin Yutang

At religious instruction classes, I encountered The Pilgrims Progress by John Bunyan, and the sincerity of the traveller in that book was overwhelming.

Lionel Blue

As any traveller knows, heading elsewhere is one thing, getting back quite another.

Lionel Shriver

We are quite a way off before people travel around the world without cash in their pockets. The growth of plastic and electronic transactions have tended to impact traveller's cheques rather than cash.
