WEEKEND QUOTE

YET ANOTHER QUOTE

This not only applies to travel, but has some relevance for life itself.

Weekly Quote

(Apologies to anyone who read the last post and wondered why I thought the "Reine" river - a misspelling of the German river - ran through Paris. Obviously a typo, it should've been Seine. Corrected.)

This week's quote is from actor/explorer Brian Blessed

QUOTE #5 - Linda Ellerbee

A week of quotes, ending with journalist Linda Ellerbee. Her career and life were exemplars of hope, achievement and courage in the face of truly daunting odds.

One of my personal heroes.

“People are pretty much alike. It's only that our differences are more susceptible to definition than our similarities." – Linda Ellerbee

QUOTE #4 - Brian Blessed

"You can't call it an adventure unless it's tinged with danger. The greatest danger in life, though, is not taking the adventure at all. To have the objective of a life of ease is death. I think we've all got to go after our own Everest." 

- Actor/Adventurer Brian Blessed

QUOTE #3 - Terry Pratchett

“Why do you go away? So that you can come back. So that you can see the place you came from with new eyes and extra colors. And the people there see you differently, too. Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving.” 

 From Terry Pratchett's book A HAT FULL OF SKY (an evocative title in and of itself). We return from our journeys different than we were when we left. No one can venture forth to experience the world and come back unchanged.

QUOTE #2 - Ray Bradbury

“We travel for romance, we travel for architecture, and we travel to be lost.” – Ray Bradbury
