The following is a list of my favourite quotes and truisms
pertaining to travel:
Adventurers are lone wolves, social misfits or even
outcasts. Misunderstood by their friends and inept in their mundane existence,
they tend to travel alone, romanticize the esoteric and only later realize that
they are trendsetters. Occasionally, by choice or by circumstance, we find
ourselves in the company of other adventurers, huddled in bomb shelters,
squeezed into native huts or killing time in Central American jails. For a brief
shining moment, we have found an equal, only to be dumped back into the real
world, where most people think we're crazy. -- Quote from Come Back Alive
