Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.

  • -- Mark Twain 马克·吐温

旅行对于偏见、偏执和狭隘的思想来说是致命的,我们许多人都非常需要旅行。一个人的一生不可能只在地球的一个小角落里郁郁葱葱地生长,就能获得对人和事的广泛、健康、宽容的看法。
