Bruce Catton Quotes

The story of 'Highway' is completely about travel. It is about the fascination of travel to an extent that I don't want to even reach the destination and also being away from society gives you a certain view of the society, so that was the intention of the film.

The longest journey begins with a single step, not with the turn of an ignition key. That’s the best thing about walking, the journey itself. It doesn’t much matter whether you get where you’re going or not. You’ll get there anyway. Every good hike brings you eventually back home. Right where you started.

Where we are going, I don't know. It doesn't seem to be the place that is important but the steps in between.

Most roads lead men homewards, My road leads me forth

There are no wrong roads to anywhere.

The Road goes ever on and on Down from the door where it began. Now far ahead the Road has gone, And I must follow, if I can, Pursuing it with eager feet, Until it joins some larger way Where many paths and errands meet. And whither then? I cannot say

Think of the long trip home. Should we have stayed home and thought of here? Where should we be today?

Whimsy doesn't care if you are the driver or the passenger; all that matters is that you are on your way.

A route differs from a road not only because it is solely intended for vehicles, but also because it is merely a line that connects one point with another. A route has no meaning in itself; its meaning derives entirely from the two points that it connects. A road is a tribute to space. Every stretch of road has meaning in itself and invites us to stop. A route is the triumphant devaluation of space, which thanks to it has been reduced to a mere obstacle to human movement and a waste of time.

He used often to say there was only one Road; that it was like a great river: its springs were at every doorstep, and every path was its tributary.

Everything good is on the highway.

A map is not a journey.

Tourists see, and travelers seek.
