Traveling is a brutality. It forces you to trust strangers and to lose sight of all that familiar comfort of home and friends. You are constantly off balance. Nothing is yours except the essential things: air, sleep, dreams, sea, the sky - all things tending towards the eternal or what we imagine of it.

From there, a lot of the emotional truths about my characters emerge.
~ Molly Antopol
I actually do bits of my writing in sort of incidental spaces - when I'm traveling on the Tube or on a bus. More often than not, it's a reaction to how you feel about something, and if you're sitting down and concentrating on, 'I must write something,' then you can't have a truthful reaction.
~ Johnny Flynn

~ Neal Shusterman
Travelling ought also to teach him distrust; but at the same time he will discover, how many trully goodnatured people there are.
~ Charles Darwin
I think we have the outline of the answer to the Fermi paradox. Transcendents don't go traveling because they can't get enough bandwidth—trying to migrate through one of these wormholes would be like trying to download your mind into a fruit fly, if they are what I think they are—and the slower-than-light route is out, too, because they couldn't take enough computronium along.
~ Charles Stross
