Boldness Has Genius

The soul that sees beauty may sometimes walk alone.

is washing the dust of daily life
off our souls.”

“For my part, I travel not to go anywhere, but to go.
I travel for travel’s sake.
The great affair is to move.”
– Robert Louis Stevenson, Scottish novelist and travel writer.
“A girl who travels will need someone that questions her, not too little, and not too much. She’ll need someone to read her, but also really listen to her. Because she’ll want to do the same. She’ll want a person that shares an interest but at the same time stays genuine to who they are. Not drown in a puddle of narcissism. And not drown in a lake of fascination.”
-Lauren Klarfeld, writer.
“Travel makes one modest. You see what a tiny place you occupy in the world.”
– Gustave Flaubert
I am grateful for what I am and have.
My thanksgiving is perpetual.-Henry David Thoreau

You will never do anything in this world without courage. It is the greatest quality of the mind next to honor.

To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put foundations under them.
