“Not only does a journey transport us over enormous distances, it also causes us to move a few degrees up or down in the social scale. It displaces us physically and also for better or for worse takes us out of our class context, so that the colour and flavour of certain places cannot be dissociated from the always unexpected social level on which we find ourselves in experiencing them.” DoeMovingCertainSocialCausesLevelsClassJourneyDegreesDistanceScalesEnormousColourUnexpectedTransportFlavour Book:Tristes Tropiques Source: Tristes Tropiques
“[Drawing should be] a journey of pleasure. Each step must present to the travellers' view objects that are eminently interesting, varied in their appearances, and attracting to such a degree as to excite in each individual thus happily employed the desire of knowing all respecting all he sees.” ShouldDesireIndividualPleasureInterestingViewsStepsKnowingJourneyObjectsDegreesAppearanceDrawingEmployedTraveller Book:Writings and Drawings Source: Writings and Drawings

“When we love something, emotion often drives our actions. This is the gift and the challenge entrepreneurs face every day. The companies we dream of and build from scratch are part of us and intensely personal. They are our families. Our lives. But the entrepreneurial journey is not for everyone. Yes, the highs are high and the rewards can be thrilling. But the lows can break your heart. Entrepreneurs must love what they do to such a degree that doing it is worth sacrifice and, at times, pain. But doing anything else, we think, would be unimaginable” ThinkingHeartDreamWould BeActionPainFacesChallengesEmotionCompanyBreakOur LivesSacrificeJourneyDegreesLowsEntrepreneurRewardsOur FamilyScratchesThrillingOur ActionsEntrepreneurialUnimaginableBreak Your Heart Author:Howard Schultz
“Anyone who imagines that bliss is normal is going to waste a lot of time running around shouting that he’s been robbed. The fact is that most putts don’t drop, most beef is tough, most children grow up to just be people, most successful marriages require a high degree of mutual toleration, most jobs are more often dull than otherwise. Life is like an old-time rail journey—delays, sidetracks, smoke, dust, cinders, and jolts, interspersed only occasionally by beautiful vistas and thrilling bursts of speed. The trick is to thank the Lord for letting you have the ride.” PeopleLifeChildrenFactsRunningJobsBeautifulLife IsGrowsLordGrowing UpSuccessfulImagineJourneyDegreesWasteNormalToughSpeedTricksDustSmokeBlissDullMutualImagine ThatDelayThrillingLife Is LikeShoutingBeefRailTolerationOld TimeVistasSuccessful Marriage Author:Jenkin Lloyd Jones
