“Twenty years from now you’ll be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do, than by the ones you did do.  So throw off the bowlines.  Sail away from the safe harbor.  Catch the trade winds in your sails.  Explore.  Dream.  Discover.”

-Mark Twain-

“The Great Affair is to move; to feel the needs and hitches of our life more nearly; to come down of this feather-bed of civilization, and to feel the globe granite underfoot and strewn with cutting flints.”

-Robert Louis Stevenson-

“To my mind, the greatest reward and luxury of travel is to be able to experience everyday things as if for the first time, to be in a position in which almost nothing is so familiar it’s taken for granted.”

-Bill Bryson-

“Truthfully my favorite sound in the entire world is opening up the balcony doors in the French Quarter and hearing four different sounds playing at once from the apartments across the way or down the street.  It’s a balmy night, twilight, and I’m drinking a beer, and this feeling just comes over me, of contentment.  It gives me goosebumps to talk about it.”

-Brad Pitt on New Orleans

“We live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty, charm and adventure.  There is no end to the adventures we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open.”

-Jawaharial Nehru-
