Vell Quotes

She had never travelled and so could invent all kinds of strange places without being limited, as travelled people are, by knowledge of certain places only Picture Quote #1

I have travelled across the universe through the years to find her. Sometimes going all the way is just a start Picture Quote #1

There is no foreign land; it is the traveller only that is foreign, and now and again, by a flash of recollection, lights up the contrasts of the ear Picture Quote #1

Most of these pictures, taken while travelling, were developed on the mantelpiece of a hotel room, which proves that the method is easy enough to carry out Picture Quote #1

Faeries, come take me out of this dull world, for I would ride with you upon the wind, run on the top of the dishevelled tide, and dance upon the mountains like a flame Picture Quote #1

Hype. What a marvellous, misused word. If you hype something and it succeeds, you’re a genius, it wasn’t hype; if you hype it and it fails, then it’s just a hype Picture Quote #1

That history should have imitated history was already sufficiently marvellous; that history should imitate literature is inconceivable Picture Quote #1

We always travelled to other cities, other states, looking for the festivals. It’s gone the musical way of one generation Picture Quote #1

Can it be that chance has made me one of those women so immersed in one man that, whether they are barren or not, they carry with them to the grave the shrivelled innocence of an old maid? Picture Quote #1

Matter of fact, the first three or four chapters are all some of you might want to bother with. That gets you to page 123 or so, which is a nice length, a nice novella sort of length Picture Quote #1

I should on this account like well enough to spend the whole of my life in travelling abroad, if I could anywhere borrow another life to spend afterwards at home Picture Quote #1

The truth is I suppose that a tour lays in a great stock of thought and spirits for the future; the fatigue and drawbacks of actual travelling are forgotten and a bright residuum remains Picture Quote #1

It is not our background that will count but our individual actions and initiatives. Education is the great leveller: irrespective of origin, it places everyone on the same footing Picture Quote #1

A road that does not lead to other roads always has to be retraced, unless the traveller chooses to rust at the end of it Picture Quote #1

He did not care in which direction the car was travelling, so long as he remained in the driver’s seat Picture Quote #1

We thought philosophy ought to be patient and unravel people’s mental blocks. Trouble with doing that is, once you’ve unravelled them, their heads fall off Picture Quote #1

And now I see with eye serene the very pulse of the machine; a being breathing thoughtful breath, a traveller between life and death Picture Quote #1

Ridicule is a weak weapon, when levelled at a strong mind; but common men are cowards, and dread an empty laugh Picture Quote #1

Custom is the great leveller. It corrects the inequality of fortune by lessening equally the pleasures of the prince and the pains of the peasant Picture Quote #1

Long careers of vice, that prosper even in their epitaphs, make cemeteries seem ridiculous, and death anything but a leveller Picture Quote #1

A leveller has long ago been set down as a ridiculous and chimerical being, who, if he could finish his work today, would have to begin it again tomorrow Picture Quote #1

The robber and the cautious traveller alike are girded with the sword; the one uses it as a means of attack, the other as a means of defence Picture Quote #1

The direct relation of music is not to ideas, but emotions. Music, in the works of its greatest masters, is more marvellous, more mysterious, than poetry Picture Quote #1

Let thy mind still be bent, still plotting, where, and when, and how thy business may be done. Slackness breeds worms; but the sure traveller, though he alights sometimes still goeth on Picture Quote #1

I was supposed to wear this really great costume, beautiful white flannel trousers, a captain’s cap, it looked marvellous, but right before shooting they had it changed and they told me to wear my own stuff instead. I felt rotten because it looked so cheap Picture Quote #1

Bankers grovelled before the governments they usually revile, like wispy poets whining for grant money. They got billions in bailouts, yet somehow the financial sector still inspires more trust and respect than the government that saved it from itself Picture Quote #1

I don’t like travelling. Which is ridiculous. And it’s not because I’m afraid of dying on the plane or anything. I just like to stay at home Picture Quote #1
