“We are what our thoughts have made us so take care about what you think. Words are secondary. Thoughts live they travel far.”– Swami Vivekananda Related Quotes “I cannot write about Venice; I can only write about me, and the sleeping parts of myself that Venice has shocked into wakefulness.”— Jessica Zafra “Don Quixote’s ‘Delusions’ is an excellent read – far better than my own forthcoming travel book, ‘Walking Backwards Across Tuscany.’”– Arthur Smith “It’s an irritating reality that many places and events defy description. Angkor Wat and Machu Picchu, for instance, seem to demand silence, like a love affair you can never talk about. For a while after,you fumble for words, trying vainly to assemble a private narrative, an explanation, a comfortable way to frame where you’ve been and whats happened. In the end, you’re just happy you were there- with your eyes open- and lived to see it.”— Anthony Bourdain
