More quotes by Michael Palin
My parents have been married forty-two years. I wonder how many of those were happy.
Michael Palin
The human race should just slow down and think about what it is doing.
Michael Palin
I will die, but not retire.
Michael Palin
There are people who travel because they want to push themselves to physical limits, people who walk across deserts or cycle across the Antarctic - like Ranulph Fiennes, who just does it because it's there. And then there are people like me, who are just genuinely curious about the world.
Michael Palin
I would love to go to Iran. The island of Madagascar, everyone says is pretty exotic, or the wonderful Namibian desert.
Michael Palin
When in doubt, resort to animation.
Michael Palin
Please don't ask which I enjoy more - acting or hosting - because I love them equally.
Michael Palin
John Hall, my geography teacher at school inspired me to a lifelong interest in geography and a curiosity about our world which has stayed with me through my life. Geography is a living, breathing subject, constantly adapting itself to change. It is dynamic and relevant. For me geography is a great adventure with a purpose.
Michael Palin
One of the most important days of my life was when I learned to ride a bicycle.
Michael Palin
Armageddon is not around the corner. This is only what the people of violence want us to believe. The complexity and diversity of the world is the hope for the future.
Michael Palin
I wanted to be an explorer, but gradually found the world had been explored and that there was nowhere left, really. Once they climbed Everest in 1953, when I was 10 years old, I thought, 'Well, that's pretty much it now.' But the idea of travelling and exploring and adventure was very strong.
Michael Palin
I can be me, and people seem quite happy with that.
Michael Palin
I am not a great cook, I am not a great artist, but I love art, and I love food, so I am the perfect traveller.
Michael Palin
I am very cautious of people who are absolutely right, especially when they are vehemently so.
Michael Palin
It's not an easy option. The essence of travel is letting go of habit and prejudice and relishing the unfamiliar. Food you've never eaten before, a language you've never spoken before, religion that mystifies, customs that confuse, politics that perplex, all question everyday assumptions about how you live your life.
Michael Palin
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
Michael Palin
I don't see why it should be remarkable that you can acquire a reputation for fairness and decency. Those are qualities shared by so many people. And the great majority of people I meet are decent people, just trying to navigate their way through the world without causing too much trouble.
Michael Palin
I'd got over playing a character. People accepted who I was, and if I was incompetent and useless, they felt quite endeared to me.
Michael Palin
I always wanted to be an explorer, but - it seemed I was doomed to be nothing more than a very silly person.
Michael Palin
Once the travel bug bites, there is no known antidote.
