Unexpected Travel Bug quotations
Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.

A good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving.

Psychiatry's a young science. Yesterday's madman may be tomorrow's genius. Beethoven and Van Gogh were both a bit loopy. In my view, most madmen are remarkable.
