Words for the Wanderers

by Nicole

Here are some words of wisdom from those who have wandered before us as we prepare to depart on our journey...

"Travel is a creative act - not simply loafing and inviting your soul, but feeding on the imagination, accounting for each fresh wonder, memorizing, and moving on...And the best landscapes, apparently dense or featureless, hold surprises if they are studied patiently, in the kind of discomfort one can savor afterwards."
-Pul Theroux

"Allons! Whoever you are, come travel with me!"
-Walt Whitman (Sarah's twice removed Grandfather perhaps??)

"It is easy in the world to live after the world's opinion; it is easy in solitude to live after your own; but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude."
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

“A journey is like marriage. The certain way to be wrong is to think you control it.”
-John Steinbeck

“One’s destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things.”."
-Henry Miller

“Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.”
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
