Arriving Quotes

On journeys, and what waits at the end of them.

These quotes treat arriving as something to hold loosely, a good traveler stays open rather than fixated on the destination, and the future is described as showing up without warning. It's a gentle case for staying present along the way. Read more travel-minded reflections in our Ferdinand Mount quotes.
