    Robert Louis Stevenson
    “ I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel's sake. The great affair is to move. ”
    ― Robert Louis Stevenson, Travels with a Donkey in the Cévennes

    Simone de Beauvoir
    “ I am awfully greedy; I want everything from life. I want to be a woman and to be a man, to have many friends and to have loneliness, to work much and write good books, to travel and enjoy myself, to be selfish and to be unselfish… You see, it is difficult to get all which I want. And then when I do not succeed I get mad with anger. ”
    ― Simone de Beauvoir
