旅行的格言

東年選譯 

Aldous Huxley:

Your true traveller finds boredom rather agreeable than painful. It is the symbol of his liberty - his excessive freedom. He accepts his boredom, when it comes, not merely philosophically, but almost with pleasure.

真誠的旅行者知道，無聊可能比痛苦令人愉快一些；因為他太自由了。他不僅是以理性面對無聊，而且自得其樂。 

Katharine Butler Hathaway:

A person needs at intervals to separate from family and companions and go to new places. One must go without familiars in order to be open to influences, to change.

一個人需要經常離開家和朋友，去一些不熟悉的地方；去陌生的領域，是為了接受新的影響，改變一下自己。 

Margaret Mead:

As the traveler who has once been from home is wiser than he who has never left his own doorstep, so a knowledge of one other culture should sharpen our ability to scrutinize more steadily, to appreciate more lovingly, our own.

一個人一旦離家去旅行，就會比他從不離開自家門階時，有見識；不同的文化會敏銳我們的能力，讓我們能夠不斷的仔細觀察和深情的賞識自己。一個人的學識也是這樣的。 

Mark Twain:

Travel has no longer any charm for me. I have seen all the foreign countries I want to except heaven and hell and I have only a vague curiosity about one of those.

旅行再不能讓我高興，我已經看過所有我想看的外國風光，除了天堂和地獄；我只對這兩處之一，還有點好奇。 

Robert Frost:

I shall be telling this with a sigh somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I - I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.

現在開始的好久好久以後，在某個時候，我會懷念的嘆說：樹林中有兩條岔路，啊我──選了一條人跡較少的，那改變了一切。 

Robert Louis Stevenson:

We are all travelers in the wilderness of this world, and the best we can find in our travels is an honest friend.

我們都是荒野中的旅行者；遇到一個真誠的朋友，是旅行中最好的事。 

Sam Keen:

To be on a quest is nothing more or less than to become an asker of questions.盲目尋找，大抵是不如問人。
