"Learning another language is not only learning different words for the same things, but learning another way to think about things."

Flora Lewis

  • “It’s funny. When you leave your home and wander really far, you always think, ‘I want to go home.’ But then you come home, and of course it’s not the same. You can’t live with it, you can’t live away from it. And it seems like from then on there’s always this yearning for some place that doesn’t exist. I felt that. Still do. I’m never completely at home anywhere.” ― Danzy Senna

Depending on the city and on the traveler, there might begin a mutual love, or dislike, friendship, or enmity.

Only through travel can we know where we belong or not, where we are loved and where we are rejected.” ― Roman Payne
  • “Personally I like going places where I don't speak the language, don't know anybody, don't know my way around and don't have any delusions that I'm in control. Disoriented, even frightened, I feel alive, awake in ways I never am at home.” ― Michael Mewshaw

And we travel, in essence, to become young fools again- to slow time down and get taken in, and fall in love once more.” ― Pico Iyer
  • “You can't control the past, but you can control where you go next.” ― Kirsten Hubbard
