The restless race of the traveller’s heart before the journey begins, when anxiety and anticipation are tangled together; a travel fever that can manifest as an illness
on the road
“Our battered suitcases were piled on the sidewalk again; we had longer ways to go.
But no matter, the road is life” ― Jack Kerouac
“There’s a race of men that don’t fit in, a race that can’t stay still; so they break the hearts of kith and kin, and they roam the world at will. They range the field and they rove the flood, and they climb the mountain’s crest; theirs is the curse of the gypsy blood, and they don’t know how to rest.”
“Still round the corner there may wait a new road or a secret gate,
and though we pass them by today,
tomorrow we may come this way and take the hidden paths that run towards the moon or to the sun.”
“Once the travel bug bites there is no known antidote,
and I know that I shall be happily infected
until the end of my life”
