More quotes by Michael Palin
There is barely a country in the world where you will be completely safe.
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
Once the travel bug bites, there is no known antidote.
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
When in doubt, resort to animation.
Michael Palin
I can be me, and people seem quite happy with that.
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
I am very cautious of people who are absolutely right, especially when they are vehemently so.
Michael Palin
I saw novelists as being admirable people and I thought... I thought... maybe, one day, I could be one of them.
Michael Palin
You can't get a suit of armour and a rubber chicken just like that. You have to plan ahead.
Michael Palin
One of the most important days of my life was when I learned to ride a bicycle.
Michael Palin
In the absence of fear there is little faith.
Michael Palin
When I'm travelling, I always take my little notebook and scribble things down as I watch them I'm very much geared to everything that's happening. Whereas, the diary I keep is just about a record of a day I've spent. When I'm filming, I'm looking quite intensely at everything I see and trying to get my own eye on what we're going through.
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 know that we shall meet problems along the way, but I'd far rather see for myself what's going on in the world outside, than rely on newspapers, television, politicians and religious leaders to tell me what I should be thinking.
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 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 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
If I am seen as successful, it's all the more reason not to change - not to lose track of friends, not to be driven everywhere, not to go and get away from the world. That, to me, is real success: enjoying what you do, but being the same person.
Michael Palin
I've never particularly liked travelling with large groups or being told where to go by somebody else. I prefer to find out for myself.
Michael Palin
