More quotes by Colin Thubron
The attributes you need to be a travel writer are somewhat contradictory. For travel you need to be tough and resilient and to write you must be sensitive and sympathetic.
Colin Thubron
Sometimes a journey arises out of hope and instinct, the heady conviction, as your finger travels along the map: Yes, here and here ... and here. These are the nerve-ends of the world.
Colin Thubron
A nation is bound not only by the real past, but the stories it tells itself: by what it remembers, and what it forgets.
