Henry David Thoreau Quotes

Going on means going far, going far means returning.

I am a voyager - and the voyage cannot mean that I stay at home.

The journey is my home.

Sometimes you film in your hometown, sometimes you go halfway across the world.

I always say it is not the arrival; it is the journey.

Journey is my life now.

I would fly around a lot. I would fly around the world.

Sal, we gotta go and never stop going 'till we get there.' 'Where we going, man?' 'I don't know but we gotta go.

Life is beautiful if you are on the road to somewhere

The great home of the soul is the open road.

Just because we cannot see clearly te end of the road, that is no reason for not setting out on the essential journey.

Yet all experience is an arch wherethrough Gleams that untraveled world whose margin fades Forever and forever when I move. How dull it is to pause, to make an end, To rust unburnished, not to shine in use! As though to breathe were life!

We will go far away, to nowhere, to conquer, to fertilize until we become tired. Then we will stop and there will be our home.

We began as wanderers, and we are wanderers still.

The road is better than the inn.

But do not ask me where I am going, As I travel in this limitless world, Where every step I take is my home.

Round the world and home again, that's the sailor's way!

Everything good is on the highway.

Humanity is always looking for the next great world, the next frontier. I wonder how different this world would be if we were content with where we were.

I climb, I backtrack. I float. I ramble my way home.

When we have discovered a continent, or crossed a chain of mountains, it is only to find another ocean or another plain upon the further side. . . . O toiling hands of mortals! O wearied feet, travelling ye know not whither! Soon, soon, it seems to you, you must come forth on some conspicuous hilltop, and but a little way further, against the setting sun, descry the spires of El Dorado. Little do ye know your own blessedness; for to travel hopefully is a better thing than to arrive, and the true success is to labour.

You soon realize that the peak you've climbed was one of the lowest, that the mountain was part of a chain of mountains, that there are still so many, so many mountains to climb...And the more you climb, the more you want to climb - even though you're dead tired.

Here we are on the road. We must be going somewhere.

My direction? Anywhere. Because one is always nearer by not keeping still.
