But those places on the other side of various borders – and as I write this I’m just five hours from Mexico – make for the steepest slopes, the largest differences.” ~ Mitchell Stevens

99)   “To travel is to own the world. By traveling, I know I have possessed the world, more completely, more nicely than if I had captured the whole world by buying it or conquering it. There is no sense of selfishness in the kind of possession I’m talking about. The one who owns the world by traveling doesn’t take away from someone else. No one will be depossessed because you have made the world yours.” ~ Burton Holmes

 

100)  “Trust me, it’s paradise. This is where the hungry come to feed. For mine is a generation that circles the globe and searches for something we haven’t tried before.

It’s probably worth it.” ~ Alex Garland

 

101)  “Some people are tourists, some are travellers, and some are just ‘hanging around in the world’.” ~ Anonymous
