Attributed in Joseph Moyle Sherer _Notes and Reflections During a Ramble in Germany_ [1826]. - Just get on any major highway, and eventually it will dead-end in a Disney parking area large enough to have its own climate, populated by large nomadic families who have been trying to find their cars since the Carter administration. --Dave Barry (b. 1947) American humorist. _Dave Barry's Only Travel Guide You'll Ever Need_ [1992] Never trust anything you read in a travel article.

What an odd thing tourism is. You fly off to a strange land, eagerly abondoning all the comforts of home, and then expend vast quantities of time and money in a largely futile attempt to recapture the comforts that you wouldn't have lost if you hadn't left home in the first place. --Bill Bryson (1951 ) American writer of humorous travel books. _Neither Here Nor There_ [1991] Travelling is the ruin of all happiness!

Forty-Niner on the way to California in Alistair Cooke (19082004) British-born American broadcaster and journalist, _America_ [1973] By this time they had been together for three or four months. It was August and normally one hundred or one hundred and ten degrees in any discoverable shade, and the nerves began to snap. People went mad: one man shot his brother because he could no longer stand the sound of his voice, another man tried to strangle a partner for the crime of twirling a luxuriant mustache. This was, they thought at the time, the nadir of the trek. Certainly, brotherly love gave out. --Alistair Cooke [Alfred Cooke] (19082004) British-born American broadcater and journalist. _America_ [1973] {Forty-Niners crossing the prairie.} But where the West begins depends when you asked the question. In the nineteenth century Charles Dickens got no farther than St. Louis, nine hundred miles short even of the Rockies. He went home convinced he had seen the West, and he declared it to be a fraud. In the seventeenth century the West began practically at the Atlantic seashore. It was synonymous with "the frontier," that inland danger line where the colonial settlement ended and the woods and the Indians started. In the coastal towns of Massachusetts, a fond father, seeing his daughter off on a journey of only fifteen miles to visit relatives in another settlement, wrote in his diary: "I did greatly fear for Abigail's safety, as she is gone into Duxbury. It is her first journey into the West, and I shall pray mightily for her early return." --Alistair Cooke [Alfred Cooke] (19082004) British-born American broadcater and journalist. _America_ [1973] - - C'est quasi le mκme de converser avec ceux des autres siθcles que de voyager. (Travelling is almost like talking with those of other centuries.) --Renι Descartes (15961650) French philosopher and mathematician. _Discours de la mιthode_ [1637] (Discourse on Method) It is good to know something of the customs of different peoples in order to judge more sanely of our own, and not to think that everything of a fashion not ours is absurd and contrary to reason, as do those who have seen nothing. --Renι Descartes (15961650) French philosopher and mathematician. _Discours de la mιthode_ [1637] (Discourse on Method), pt. 1 - If it is better to travel than to arrive, it is because traveling is a constant arriving, while arrival that precludes further traveling is most easily attained by going to sleep or dying. --John Dewey (18591952) American philosopher and educator. _Human Nature and Conduct: An Introduction to Social Psychology_, 4.1, [1922] Like all great travellers, I have seen more than I remember, and remember more than I have seen. --Benjamin Disraeli (18041881) British Tory statesman, novelist, and Prime Minister [1868, 18741880]. Quoted in "Macmillan's Magazine" [June 1881]. - Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us, or we find it not. --Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882) American philosopher and poet. _Essays: First Series_, Essay XII, "Art" [1841] Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail. --attributed to Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882) American philosopher and poet. - The time will come when people will travel in stages moved by steam engines, from one city to another, almost as fast as birds fly, fifteen or twenty miles an hour. --Oliver Evans (17551819) American inventor. _Patent Right Oppression Exposed_ [1813] I like any place that isn't here. --Edna Ferber (18871968) American novelist and short-story writer. "If I Should Ever Travel", _Gigolo_ [1922] Fish and Visitors stink in 3 days. --Benjamin Franklin (17061790) American politician, inventor, and scientist. _Poor Richard's Almanack_ [1736] ^^ Cars need fuel and roads. America's roads, not surprisingly, were simply not up to the new machine. Roads cost a lot of money; but the growing masses of drivers demanded them. A federal Road Aid Act was passed in 1916, and another in 1921; these laws gave money to states for road building. The federal law required tbe states to create highway commissions if they wanted a share of the loot. Even Mississippi, the poorest of the states, responded although as late as 1923 there were no north-south connections worthy of the name, and only the three biggest cities, Meridian, Vicksburg, and Jackson, were joined by paved highways. Out of the federal laws, however, came U.S. 1, running north and south, and U.S. 40 and 60, running east and west. And in the 1930s new limited-access roads were built the West Side Highway in New York, the Pennsylvania Turnpike. Road building in the states steadily improved, too, as time went on. At the end of the Second World War there was a huge pent-up demand for cars, and plenty of money to buy cars with. In the postwar period, the auto- mobile literally reshaped America. Government helped speed the process. In 1956 the federal government embarked on its most ambitious road-building spree: a few cents out of every gallon of gas was to go into a Highway Trust Fund, and the money was to be used to build a network of interstate highways, criss-crossing the country, north and south, east and west. State and local money also poured into highways; public transportation shriveled and died in some cities; in others, it was sharply cut back. The automobile was the great American machine. Rich people had big, flashy cars; poor people clunkers, used cars, small, old, rusty cars: anything, as long as it would go. The automobile became in many ways the key to American culture. It was the very motor force of American individualism; if the average family was a slave to its automobile, and utterly dependent on it, it was at the same time independent of shackles of time and space that had tied their grandparents to a specific place. The road system built paths to the suburbs. During the postwar period, government also lent money to veterans to buy homes. Suburbs like Levittown sprang up almost overnight. Millions of (mostly white) families deserted the cities and headed out for the fringes, where people had backyards and barbecue pits. The breadwinner did not usually work in the suburbs (later on, the factories and headquarters buildings followed the crowd out past the city limits); but the families lived there, they mowed their lawns and planted flowers, and they did their shopping in the new malls and shopping centers islands of stores afloat in an ocean of parked cars. The old central cities stopped growing. The future was in suburbia, exurbia, and shopping malls. The future rode to work, to the store, and back home again, in cars. The automobile was now a lifeline the only way people could connect themselves and the places they lived, shopped, and worked, the people they wanted to visit, their extended families, their leisure-time activities. It altered every aspect of life. It led the way to the new consumer society, the suburban society, the society of entertainment and leisure. It produced a drive-in and drive-by society. You could, for example, watch a movie without getting out of your car the postwar period was the heyday of the drive-in movie. Fifteen percent of all theaters were drive-ins by 1951, and they earned 20 percent of total theater receipts. Teenagers called these magnificent establishments "passion pits"; young families used them to avoid the baby-sitter problem. The drive-in movie is now almost extinct; but the drive-in bank and the drive-in burger joint and even the drive-in espresso bar are very much alive and kicking. As the automobile took over, older forms of transport fell into decay. The first casualty, of course, was the horse, and the wagons, carts, and buggies that horses dragged along. This was, on the whole, a good thing. By the end of the twentieth century, people were used to the idea that the automobile is choking the cities to death. In the 1930s the matter looked quite different. Edith Abbott, in her study of the slums of Chicago, considered the automobile a godsend. It drove out the horse, and along with it "the filthy stables and the dreadful manure heaps that accumulated." The alleys had once been "unspeakably filthy and disgusting." No more. And the auto also led to the "opening-up, widening, and repaving of many formerly little-used streets through dreary sections" of town. The same was true in other cities as well. According to one estimate, in New York City horses deposited 2.5 million pounds of manure and sixty thousand gallons of urine on the streets every day; the city had to haul away fifteen thousand dead horses a year. The automobile, of course, soon outlived its role of urban savior. Ultimately traffic got worse and worse, and the polluting fumes of millions of cars replaced the pollution of the horse. Clean air legislation was, in part at least, a response to the challenge of the car. The horse was no match for the auto; and neither was the passenger train. The little engine that could no longer did; passenger rail travel limped gradually into obsolescence. Most younger Americans at the end of the twentieth century had never taken a serious railroad trip at least not in America. The closest they had come was a ride in Disneyland; or perhaps a ride to town on a commuter train. The Interstate Commerce Commission, created in 1887, that great federal regulatory agency designed to tame the mighty railroad industry, died with a whimper in 1995. Trains still carry a lot of freight; and the Surface Transportation Board still regulates them, to a degree. But intercity passenger travel survives, really, only in a few dense corridors, like the one between Boston and Washington. The automobile even influenced crime and the war against crime. The famous bandits and gangs of the 1920s and 1930s, people like Bonnie and Clyde, depended on fast cars for their fast crimes and fast living. One writer in 1924 blamed autos and good roads for the increase in "banditry." Crime had gone interstate, along with the automobile. And interstate crime, in turn, strengthened the case for interstate crime fighting for institutions like the FBI. The automobile helped erode the borders that had been so prominent a feature of American criminal justice. --Lawrence M. Friedman (1930- ) _American Law in the 20th Century_ [2002] Ch. 18 "Getting Around and Spreading the Word" pp. 550-552. ^^ - "The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost (18741963) American poet. Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergroth; Then I took the other one, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same, And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I keep the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back. I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I I took the one less travelled by, And that makes all the difference. - If an ass goes a-traveling he'll not come home a Horse. --Thomas Fuller (16541734) English writer and physician. Comp., _Gnomologia: Adages and Proverbs_, 2668, [1732] I journeyed fur, I journeyed fas'; I glad I foun' de place at las'! --Joel Chandler Harris (18481908) American writer. _Nights with Uncle Remus_ [1883] - - Japanese ships are strictly forbidden to leave for foreign countries. No Japanese is permitted to go abroad. If there is anyone who attempts to do so secretly, he must be executed. The ship so involved must be impounded and its owner arrested, and the matter must be reported to the higher authority. If any Japanese returns from overseas after residing there, he must be put to death. --Tokugawa Iemitsu (16041651) Third shogun of the Tokugawa dynasty who reigned from 1623 to 1651.

"New York State Of Mind" [1976 song] - All travel has its advantages. If the passenger visits better countries, he may learn to improve his own, and if fortune carries him to worse, he may learn to enjoy it. --Samuel Johnson (17091784) English poet, critic, and lexicographer. _A Journey to the Western Islands of Scotland_ [1775] Pack the one bag.

"Mandalay" st. 6, [1892] Thanks to the Interstate Highway System, it is now possible to travel from coast to coast without seeing anything. From the Interstate, America is all steel guardrails and plastic signs, and every place looks and feels and sounds and smells like every other place. We stick to the back roads, where Kansas still looks like Kansas and Georgia still looks like Georgia, where there is room for diversity and for the occurrence of small miracles. --Charles Kuralt (19341997) American journalist and broadcaster. _On The Road_ [1980] - The world may be known Without leaving the house. --Lao-tzu (c. 6th cent.

"I am certain," said Mr Escot, "that a wild man can travel an immense distance without fatigue; but what is the advantage of locomotion?
