“Travel opens your mind as few other things do.”
“If your mind is empty, it is always ready for anything, it is open to everything. In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities, but in the expert's mind there are few. ”
“Travel's greatest purpose is to replace an empty mind with an open one.”
“Things we were going to do are now being done by others. They were, it seems, not in our minds to do (were we or they out of our minds?) but simply ready to enter any open mind, any mind disturbed enough not to have an idea in it.”
“Do not be so open-minded that your brains fall out.”
“There is no other escape like a book. Reading expands your mind and opens your world to a myriad of possibilities.”
