Quote

Too often travel, instead of broadening the mind, merely lengthens the conversation.

Extensive traveling induces a feeling of encapsulation, and travel, so broadening at first, contracts the mind.

Travelling expands the mind rarely.

The use of travelling is to regulate imagination by reality, and instead of thinking how things may be, to see them as they are.

Travelling is almost like talking with those of other centuries.

Traveling is one expression of the desire to cross boundaries.

I feel traveling certainly does broaden the mind. In my case certainly I feel more confident. It gives you a new perspective on the world.

Not only does travel give us a new system of reckoning, it also brings to the fore unknown aspects of our own self. Our consciousness being broadened and enriched, we shall judge ourselves more correctly.

Long-distance train conversations are unlike the perfunctory exchanges one normally associates with strangers, or the truncated, cut-to-the-chase kind that sometimes take place between seatmates on a plane.
