World Traveller

Famous quotes containing the words world and/or traveller:

    For pain is perhaps but a violent pleasure? Who could determine the point where pleasure becomes pain, where pain is still a pleasure? Is not the utmost brightness of the ideal world soothing to us, while the lightest shadows of the physical world annoy?
    HonorĂ© De Balzac (1799–1850)

    I have learned that the swiftest traveller is he that goes afoot.
