One of the more popular features here at noboundaries.org, is the randomly rotating travel quotes that appear in the right-hand column of the homepage. These are quotes I’ve gathered during my three-years of work planning and researching my trip, as well as others passed along to me by friends. Since planning a trip around-the-world must always start with a bit of inspiration, I share these quotes with you in hopes that they do just that for you.

I’ve been getting a lot of email requests that begin “So there was this quote on your website…” and end with “but it disappeared before I could write it down…” So, today we introduce a new feature on the presently “under construction” redesign of the noboundaries.org site: a single page containing all the quotes that have ever appeared in the quote section of the front page.

It can be found under the Photo & Media menu above, there you will now find a “travel quotes” section.

Feel free to share you own travel quotes in the comment box provided below, the best of which I will add to the rotating stock of quotes.

Here are few of my favorites:

(The two quotes that inspired the the name for this website.)

“As you pass from sunlight into darkness and back again every hour and a half, you become startlingly aware how artificial are thousands of boundaries we’ve created to separate and define. And for the first time in your life you feel in your gut the precious unity of the Earth and all the living things it supports.” -Russell Schweickart, Apollo 9 astronaut

“If one advances confidently in the directions of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours. He will put some things behind and will pass an invisible boundary, new, universal, and more liberal laws will begin to establish themselves around and within him” -Henry David Thoreau in Walden

And a few others….

“Don’t sell all your time.” -Dick Gregory

“You’re not going to see people like this again for a long time, he said & I said I always saw people like this & he looked at me for a moment & said, You’re not from around here, are you?” -Brian Andreas, StoryPeople

“If I had my life to live over I’d like to make more mistakes next time. I’d relax. I would limber up. I would be sillier than I have been this trip. I would take fewer things seriously.

I would take more chances. I would climb more mountains and swim more rivers. I would eat more ice cream and less beans. I would perhaps have more actual trouble, but I’d have fewer imaginary ones.

You see, I’m one of those people who live sensibly and sanely hour after hour, day after day. Oh, I’ve had my moments, and if I had to do it over again, I’d have more of them. In fact, I’d try to have nothing else. Just moments, one after another, instead of living so many years ahead of each day.

I’ve been one of those persons who never goes anywhere without a thermometer, a hot water bottle, a raincoat, and a parachute. If I had to do it again, I would travel lighter than I have.

If I had my life to live over, I would start barefoot earlier in the spring and stay that way later in the fall. I would go to more dances. I would ride more merry-go-rounds. I’d pick more daisies.” -Nadine Stair
