Pierre Trudeau Quotes

Inner space is the real frontier.

The next frontier is not in front of us but inside us.

What can we gain by sailing to the moon if we are not able to cross the abyss that separates us from ourselves? This is the most important of all voyages of discovery, and without it, all the rest are not only useless, but disastrous.

Nay, be a Columbus to whole new continents and worlds within you, opening new channels, not of trade, but of thought.

The self-explorer, whether he wants to or not, becomes the explorer of everything else.

Man has made remarkable strides in conquering outer space, but how futile have been his efforts in conquering inner space- the space in our hearts and minds of men.

Adventure is not outside; it is within.

I always think it's interesting to dig a little bit deeper every time you go to someplace that seems like a revelation or a strong connection to an emotional truth.

Man is a universe within himself.

To travel is to take a journey into yourself.

For me, my life is a journey.

What each must seek in his life never was on land or sea. It is something out of his own unique potentiality for experience, something that never has been and never could have been experienced by anyone else.

In my writing I am acting as a map maker, an explorer of psychic areas, a cosmonaut of inner space, and I see no point in exploring areas that have already been thoroughly surveyed.

In the past, I've visited remote places - North Korea, Ethiopia, Easter Island - partly as a way to visit remote states of mind: remote parts of myself that I wouldn't ordinarily explore.

The delights of self-discovery are always available.

No matter how you travel, it's still you going.
