More quotes by 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
When in doubt, resort to animation.
Michael Palin
Geography is the subject which holds the key to our future
Michael Palin
You don't ask people about the immigration policies of the U.K. or their country's agricultural policy. Instead, you talk to them about the meal they're eating or their family, and from that you get the sense of another human being, someone we can all relate to.
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 got my first lifetime achievement award years ago, and I was very excited, but then I got a sense of: Well, can one get a second lifetime award?
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
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 will die, but not retire.
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
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 am very cautious of people who are absolutely right, especially when they are vehemently so.
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 remember queuing around the block in Sheffield when I was growing up. At that time, going to the cinema was really something special - there was something about the style of the real thing that is immeasurable nicer than multiplexes.
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
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'm aware that, if you feel down, it can be strangely unrelated to circumstances around you. That's just the way life is.
Michael Palin
People say the most stupid things on the spur of the moment that they then have to retract.
Michael Palin
I can be me, and people seem quite happy with that.
Michael Palin
There is barely a country in the world where you will be completely safe.
