Every once in a while, somebody from a movie will say something that stays with us for a long time to come, perhaps even forever. These are seven such quotes on travel, not necessarily from “travel movies”, but definitely words that will inspire wanderlust…

1. Lost In Translation

2. A Hat Full Of Sky

Full Quote: “Why do you go away? So that you can come back. So that you can see the place you came from with new eyes and extra colors. And the people there see you differently, too. Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving.”

3. On The Road

Full Quote: ““because he had no place he could stay in without getting tired of it and because there was nowhere to go but everywhere, keep rolling under the stars…”

4. Into The Wild

Full Quote: “I’m gonna be all the way out there, all the way fucking out there. Just on my own. You know, no fucking watch, no map, no axe, no nothing. No nothing. Just be out there. Just be out there in it. You know, big mountains, rivers, sky, game. Just be out there in it, you know? In the wild.”

5. The Beach

Full Quote: “Trust me, it’s paradise. This is where the hungry come to feed. For mine is a generation that circles the globe and searches for something we haven’t tried before. So never refuse an invitation, never resist the unfamiliar, never fail to be polite and never outstay the welcome. Just keep your mind open and suck in the experience. And if it hurts, you know what? It’s probably worth it.”

6. Before Sunrise

Full Quote: “All I know is I have to catch an Austrian Airlines flight tomorrow morning at 9:30 and I don’t really have enough money for a hotel, so I was just going to walk around, and it would be a lot more fun if you came with me.”

7. The Motorcycle Diaries

8. Titanic

9. Pulp Fiction

Full Quote: “But you know what the funniest thing about Europe is? It’s the little differences. I mean, they got the same shit over there that we got here, but it’s just…it’s just there it’s a little different.”
