Wordgrove Post & Review

Quoted In The Grove: 
All journeys have secret destinations of which the traveler is unaware.
~Martin Buber

I am learning that in life it is OK to travel in darkness, not knowing what your next move is.
~Cobie Smulders

How often I found where I should be going only by setting out for somewhere else.
~R Buckminster Fuller

EndQuote:
A journey is a person in itself; no two are alike. And all plans, safeguards, policing, and coercion are fruitless. We find that after years of struggle that we do not take a trip; a trip takes us.
~John Steinbeck

Thoughts On Travel: Quoted
Travel is the best and probably cheapest graduate school you can buy.

~Pico Iyer

Travel, in the younger sort, is a part of education; in the elder, a part of experience.

It really is a fact that liberals are much higher than conservatives on a major personality trait called ‘openness to experience.’ People who are high on openness to experience just crave novelty, variety, diversity, new ideas, travel. People low on it like things that are familiar, that are safe and dependable.
~Jonathan Haidt

There can be many reasons to travel, but wandering into the world for no particular reason is a sublime madness, which in all its whimsy and pointlessness may depict the story of life – and indeed could be a useful model to keep in mind, seeing as so much of life’s ambition comes unstuck or leads to nothing much at all.
~Michael Leunig

The people with the passports, the people who travel more, tend to be the most understanding. And it’s ironic that the people who travel the least have the strongest opinions about the people they’ve never met.
~Brian Chesky

Travel teaches toleration.
~Benjamin Disraeli

You do not travel if you are afraid of the unknown, you travel for the unknown, that reveals you with yourself.
~Ella Maillart

EndQuote:

~Gilbert K Chesterton

I see my path, but I don’t know where it leads. Not knowing where I’m going is what inspires me to travel it.
~Rosalia de Castro

We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time.
~T S Eliot

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