Quotes: Pico Iyer

"Travel is, ultimately, about those words that begin in "trans." Transport, transcendence, and transformation. It's not the sights that send one home a different person; it's something around the sights, between the lines, a moment when one forgets oneself, that sudden serendipity not to be found on any postcard or secondhand image." 

–– Pico Iyer (b. 1957) British-born novelist and essayist
