Famous quotes containing the words travel and/or memoirs:

    “I should like to oblige you, but with people like us, we must be able to travel faster than our clients.”
    —Stanley Kubrick (b. 1928)

    “There are people who can write their memoirs with a reasonable amount of honesty, and there are people who simply cannot take themselves seriously enough. I think I might be the first to admit that the sort of reticence which prevents a man from exploiting his own personality is really an inverted sort of egotism.”
    —Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
