“Travelling can sometimes get sickening, and I am doing it because I am frightened of doing anything else and failing.” Quote by Gordon Roddick, 1963
“The more I travel, the less I know and can fathom out. I have learned a lot about people and places but still haven’t learned to live with myself. It will be a slow process. I suspect my every motive and every action is too conscious.” LifeWisdomTruthTravelReflectionContemplationAttributed No Source Author:Gordon Roddick, 1963
“I am too preoccupied with myself. I neither trust myself nor my feelings. I dislike my emotions as all being suspect, delusions or springing from weakness.” LifeWisdomTruthReflectionContemplationLife LessonAttributed No Source Author:Gordon Roddick, 1963
“My plans are, at best, vague and show little promise of becoming more definite for quite some time. Maybe I am making the greatest mistake of my life – I don’t know, but at least I must try.” LifeWisdomTruthTravelReflectionContemplationAttributed No Source Author:Gordon Roddick, 1963

“I wrote in the pursuit of nonsense. What is nonsense? Something that makes no sense, but surely everything makes sense since anything spoken springs from the brain. Within the brain, small though it be, I believe, or I am told, there lies a mechanism association of ideas, so really everything is an association of something which, being so, couldn't be nonsense. It must be 'sense' of some description, but it is in the wrong place.” LifeWritingPhilosophyWisdomTruthReflectionContemplationAttributed No Source Author:Gordon Roddick, 1963

“The preacher did not say of ideals that they are only there because we cannot attain them. They are red hot and passionate and should have no reason, like the blind charge of the bull.” LifePhilosophyWisdomTruthPassionReflectionContemplationAttributed No Source Author:Gordon Roddick, 1963
“The dreariness of an ideal attained is to be tired of life; it is a life without trouble. Heap on me a dunghill of tongue-torn trouble till it fills my mouth and eyes and nose, till it fills up my throat and forces me to cough and vomit it out, and I rise laughing and crusted in trouble.” LifePhilosophyWisdomTruthPassionReflectionContemplationAttributed No Source Author:Gordon Roddick, 1963
