| I feel about airplanes the way I feel about diets. It seems to me that they are wonderful things for other people to go on. |
| I have found out that there ain't no surer way to find out whether you like people or hate them than to travel with them. |
| Now I know why they tell you to put your head between your knees on crash landings. You think you're going to kiss your ass good-bye. |
| There are only two emotions in a plane: boredom and terror. |
| Half the fun of the travel is the esthetic of lostness. |

| Most travel is best of all in the anticipation or the remembering; the reality has more to do with losing your luggage. |

| To get away from one's working environment is, in a sense, to get away from one's self; and this is often the chief advantage of travel and change. |
