Copy Quote Text

Most travel, and certainly the rewarding kind, involves depending on the kindness of strangers, putting yourself into the hands of people you don't know and trusting them with your life.

Paul Theroux Film Writer

I am happy being what I am.

Paul Theroux Film Writer

My greatest inspiration is memory.

Paul Theroux Film Writer

I sought trains; I found passengers.

Paul Theroux Film Writer

I do not want to be the angel of any home: I want for myself what I want for other women, absolute equality. After that is secured, then men and women can take turns being angels.

Agnes Macphail Political Figure

The type of girls that would sleep with you in a heartbeat aren't the type of girls I'd want to take home anyway.

Niall Horan Musical Artist

You can't assume the best about people. If I get a girl home and she takes her pants off, and it looks like she's got herpes, I can't afford to assume she got stung by a pack of bees.

Jonathan Raban Travel Writer

Beth Broderick Actress
