It is like playing the childhood game telephone where someone whispers a sentence into the ear of the first person in a long line, and twenty whispers later a mangled sentence, barely recognizable from the original, is produced. Despite the common knowledge that most quotes are fake, or at the very least modified, people share them across social media and lists on websites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was one of those people. Eager to produce a list of the best road trip quotes, I scoured the internet and culled my notes for anything to add to the growing list. I proudly published a list of 100 road trip quotes.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t<section data-elementor-type=\"section\" data-elementor-id=\"27930\" class=\"elementor elementor-27930\" data-elementor-post-type=\"elementor_library\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c478303 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"c478303\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-afb5e21 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"afb5e21\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-894aa4e e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"894aa4e\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-df83c1e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"df83c1e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">do you love<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3badda2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"3badda2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">road trips?<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9eef3ab elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"9eef3ab\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Sign up and be the first to read new road trip itineraries and destination guides.<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2c372a9 elementor-mobile-button-align-stretch elementor-button-align-stretch elementor-widget elementor-widget-form\" data-id=\"2c372a9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;button_width&quot;:&quot;20&quot;,&quot;step_next_label&quot;:&quot;Next&quot;,&quot;step_previous_label&quot;:&quot;Previous&quot;,&quot;step_type&quot;:&quot;number_text&quot;,&quot;step_icon_shape&quot;:&quot;circle&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"form.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<form class=\"elementor-form\" method=\"post\" name=\"New Form\">\n\t\t\t<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"post_id\" value=\"27930\"\/>\n\t\t\t<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"form_id\" value=\"2c372a9\"\/>\n\t\t\t<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"referer_title\" value=\"Road Trips &amp; Coffee\" \/>\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-form-fields-wrapper elementor-labels-\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-field-type-email elementor-field-group elementor-column elementor-field-group-email elementor-col-80 elementor-field-required\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<label for=\"form-field-email\" class=\"elementor-field-label elementor-screen-only\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tEmail\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/label>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<input size=\"1\" type=\"email\" name=\"form_fields[email]\" id=\"form-field-email\" class=\"elementor-field elementor-size-md  elementor-field-textual\" placeholder=\"Email\" required=\"required\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-field-group elementor-column elementor-field-type-submit elementor-col-20 e-form__buttons\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<button class=\"elementor-button elementor-size-md\" type=\"submit\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Sign Up<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/form>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-78e00f4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"78e00f4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Yes!

Steinbeck<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPeople don\u2019t take trips, trips take people.\u201d Like many quotes, this one by Nobel Prize-winning author John Steinbeck is paraphrased from another quote. In 1960, Steinbeck wrote <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3XL1FL5\"><em>Travels with Charley: In Search of America<\/em><\/a>. One passage in the book reads:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A journey is a person in itself; no two are alike. And all plans, safeguards, policies and coercion are fruitless. We find after years of struggle that we do not take a trip; a trip takes us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>READ MORE: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/road-trip-historic-heartland-of-georgia\/\">A History-Themed Road Trip Through the Historic Heartland of Georgia<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Quotes are often shortened for brevity because a one-liner is more likely to be read than a one-paragrapher. But this time, I felt the actual quote was quite nice. Although it may not be the quote Steinbeck is often attributed to making, I will share this one.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"section\" data-elementor-id=\"47637\" class=\"elementor elementor-47637\" data-elementor-post-type=\"elementor_library\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b317ab2 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"b317ab2\" data-element_type=\"container\" id=\"mediavine-advertisement-desktop\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-91875b8 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"91875b8\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-450af8e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"450af8e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">advertisement<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7685227 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7685227\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"content_hint\">\u00a0<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large uag-hide-mob\"><img data-dominant-color=\"829184\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #829184;\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1200\" data-pin-url=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/road-trip-quotes\/?tp_image_id=69909\" src=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb003-1800x1200.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-69909 not-transparent\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb003-1800x1200.webp 1800w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb003-1200x800.webp 1200w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb003-390x260.webp 390w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb003-768x511.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb003-1536x1023.webp 1536w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb003-150x100.webp 150w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb003-jpg.webp 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large uag-hide-desktop uag-hide-tab\"><img data-dominant-color=\"7d9191\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #7d9191;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"799\" height=\"1200\" data-pin-url=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/road-trip-quotes\/?tp_image_id=69910\" src=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb004-799x1200.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-69910 not-transparent\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb004-799x1200.webp 799w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb004-533x800.webp 533w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb004-173x260.webp 173w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb004-768x1153.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb004-1023x1536.webp 1023w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb004-150x225.webp 150w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb004-jpg.webp 1332w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 799px) 100vw, 799px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>(<a href=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb003.jpg\">Download for Desktop<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb004.jpg\">Download for Mobile<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"preheader\">No. 2<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-if-you-don-t-care-where-you-want-to-get-to-then-it-doesn-t-matter-which-way-you-go-lewis-carroll\"><strong>\u201cIf you don\u2019t care where you want to get to, then it doesn\u2019t matter which way you go.\u201d\u00a0\u2013 Lewis Carroll<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIf you don\u2019t know where you are going, any road will get you there.\u201d This is another misquote often attributed to Lewis Carroll, author of <em>Alice in Wonderland<\/em>.

But few ever hear of Sir Tom Stoppard, a British playwright and screenwriter. At the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 1966, Stoppard debuted one of his most acclaimed works: <em>Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The play is about the lives of two minor characters waiting \u201cin the wings\u201d from Shakespeare\u2019s <em>Hamlet<\/em>. It\u2019s a self-aware, comical take on what minor characters do in-universe while not on stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>READ MORE: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/road-trip-scenic-route-gatlinburg-to-asheville\/\">Road Trip Along the Scenic Route from Gatlinburg to Asheville<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One passage from the play features Stoppard\u2019s popular quote above:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>PLAYER: We keep to our usual stuff, more or less, only inside out. We do on stage the things that are supposed to happen off. Which is a kind of integrity, if you look on every exit being an entrance somewhere else. (Act I)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Player, one of the primary characters of Stoppard\u2019s play, explains that when they leave the main stage of <em>Hamlet<\/em>, they go backstage and continue to live their lives. Exiting Shakespeare\u2019s play is simply an entrance into Stoppard\u2019s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But somewhere in time, someone thought \u201clook on every exit being an entrance somewhere else\u201d was a great soundbite when taken out of context. Now, the quote takes on a new meaning with existential ramifications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And I like it.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"section\" data-elementor-id=\"47637\" class=\"elementor elementor-47637\" data-elementor-post-type=\"elementor_library\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b317ab2 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"b317ab2\" data-element_type=\"container\" id=\"mediavine-advertisement-desktop\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-91875b8 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"91875b8\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-450af8e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"450af8e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">advertisement<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7685227 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7685227\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"content_hint\">\u00a0<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large uag-hide-mob\"><img data-dominant-color=\"858e75\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #858e75;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1200\" data-pin-url=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/road-trip-quotes\/?tp_image_id=69913\" src=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb007-1800x1200.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-69913 not-transparent\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb007-1800x1200.webp 1800w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb007-1200x800.webp 1200w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb007-390x260.webp 390w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb007-768x511.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb007-1536x1023.webp 1536w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb007-150x100.webp 150w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb007-jpg.webp 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large uag-hide-desktop uag-hide-tab\"><img data-dominant-color=\"818975\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #818975;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"799\" height=\"1200\" data-pin-url=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/road-trip-quotes\/?tp_image_id=69914\" src=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb008-799x1200.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-69914 not-transparent\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb008-799x1200.webp 799w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb008-533x800.webp 533w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb008-173x260.webp 173w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb008-768x1153.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb008-1023x1536.webp 1023w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb008-150x225.webp 150w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb008-jpg.webp 1332w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 799px) 100vw, 799px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>(<a href=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb007.jpg\">Download for Desktop<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb008.jpg\">Download for Mobile<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"preheader\">No. 4<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-only-impossible-journey-is-the-one-you-never-begin-tony-robbins\"><strong>\u201cThe only impossible journey is the one you never begin.\u201d \u2013 Tony Robbins\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if you don\u2019t know who Tony Robbins is, you know about Tony Robbins.

But he was not referring to journey in the sense of travel, but instead about one\u2019s journey through life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But it works well as a travel quote, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"section\" data-elementor-id=\"47637\" class=\"elementor elementor-47637\" data-elementor-post-type=\"elementor_library\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b317ab2 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"b317ab2\" data-element_type=\"container\" id=\"mediavine-advertisement-desktop\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-91875b8 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"91875b8\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-450af8e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"450af8e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">advertisement<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7685227 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7685227\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"content_hint\">\u00a0<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large uag-hide-mob\"><img data-dominant-color=\"6d7644\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #6d7644;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1200\" data-pin-url=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/road-trip-quotes\/?tp_image_id=69915\" src=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb009-1800x1200.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-69915 not-transparent\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb009-1800x1200.webp 1800w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb009-1200x800.webp 1200w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb009-390x260.webp 390w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb009-768x511.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb009-1536x1023.webp 1536w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb009-150x100.webp 150w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb009-jpg.webp 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large uag-hide-desktop uag-hide-tab\"><img data-dominant-color=\"8b925e\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #8b925e;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"799\" height=\"1200\" data-pin-url=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/road-trip-quotes\/?tp_image_id=69916\" src=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb010-799x1200.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-69916 not-transparent\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb010-799x1200.webp 799w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb010-533x800.webp 533w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb010-173x260.webp 173w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb010-768x1153.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb010-1023x1536.webp 1023w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb010-150x225.webp 150w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb010-jpg.webp 1332w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 799px) 100vw, 799px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>(<a href=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb009.jpg\">Download for Desktop<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb010.jpg\">Download for Mobile<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"preheader\">No. 5<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-good-company-in-a-journey-makes-the-way-seem-shorter-izaak-walton\"><strong>\u201cGood company in a journey makes the way seem shorter.\u201d\u00a0\u2013 Izaak Walton<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This quote is often attributed to Izaak Walton, although I cannot verify if he ever said or wrote it. Walton was a 17th-century English writer and author of <em>The Compleat Angler<\/em>, a popular book about the art and spirit of fishing published in 1653.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After a career as a linen draper, Walton retired to a small farm he purchased north of his hometown. He spent the next forty years traveling the country and fishing with prominent political and religious leaders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>READ MORE: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/road-trip-cherohala-skyway-tennessee-north-carolina\/\">Road Trip on the Cherohala Skyway From Tennessee to North Carolina<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Interestingly, Walton secretly harbored one of the Crown Jewels. After Oliver Cromwell defeated King Charles II at the Battle of Worchester, Charles was sent into exile for nine years. Walton hid the Crown Jewel on his farm until he could smuggle it to Charles in Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"section\" data-elementor-id=\"42913\" class=\"elementor

In 2002, he published <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3Hope7h\"><em>The Art of Travel<\/em><\/a>.

Healthy, free, the world before me.&#8221; \u2013Walt Whitman<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Did you know that famed poet Walt Whitman published a poem about taking a road trip in 1856? <em>Leaves of Grass<\/em> was a poetry collection initially published in 1855. But Whitman was unsatisfied with the final product, so he published between six and nine editions of the collection over the next fifty years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second edition debuted the poem <em>Song of the Open Road<\/em>. Under the idea of Manifest Destiny \u2013 the belief that God had blessed the United States with a mission to expand across the entire North American continent \u2013 thousands of settlers trekked toward the Pacific Coast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>READ MORE: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/road-trips\/\">Most Recent Road Trip Articles<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whitman&#8217;s poem symbolized the movement. The &#8220;open road&#8221; represented the freedom of Americans and the endless opportunity the burgeoning young country offered. The quote above, &#8220;Afoot and light-hearted I take to the open road. Healthy, free, the world before me,&#8221; represented the hopes of the 400,000 settlers who trekked across the country by 1870.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Symbolism aside, it&#8217;s an excellent quote for road trips today. All we need is health and freedom, luxuries we often take for granted, to enjoy the open road. How often are you reminded of those luxuries while on a road trip?<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"section\" data-elementor-id=\"47637\" class=\"elementor elementor-47637\" data-elementor-post-type=\"elementor_library\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b317ab2 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"b317ab2\" data-element_type=\"container\" id=\"mediavine-advertisement-desktop\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-91875b8 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"91875b8\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-450af8e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"450af8e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">advertisement<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7685227 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7685227\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"content_hint\">\u00a0<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large uag-hide-mob\"><img data-dominant-color=\"96a19e\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #96a19e;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1200\" data-pin-url=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/road-trip-quotes\/?tp_image_id=69929\" src=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb023-1800x1200.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-69929 not-transparent\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb023-1800x1200.webp 1800w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb023-1200x800.webp 1200w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb023-390x260.webp 390w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb023-768x511.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb023-1536x1023.webp 1536w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb023-150x100.webp 150w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb023-jpg.webp 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large uag-hide-desktop uag-hide-tab\"><img data-dominant-color=\"84908f\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #84908f;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"799\" height=\"1200\" data-pin-url=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/road-trip-quotes\/?tp_image_id=69930\" src=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb024-799x1200.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-69930 not-transparent\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb024-799x1200.webp 799w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb024-533x800.webp 533w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb024-173x260.webp 173w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb024-768x1153.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb024-1023x1536.webp 1023w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb024-150x225.webp 150w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb024-jpg.webp 1332w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 799px) 100vw, 799px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>(<a href=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb023.jpg\">Download for Desktop<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb024.jpg\">Download for Mobile<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"preheader\">No. 12<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-all-he-needed-was-a-wheel-in-his-hand-and-four-on-the-road-jack-kerouac\"><strong>\u201cAll he needed was a wheel in his hand and four on the road.\u201d\u00a0\u2013 Jack Kerouac<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Jack Kerouac was one of the most popular writers of his generation despite having never completed college.

Hazlitt dabbled in philosophy, poetry, and painting in his early life. Then, he discovered a passion as a journalist working for several newspapers as a parliamentary reporter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although Hazlitt was lauded for brilliant prose at the time, political rivals ultimately branded him a quack. He died penniless in 1830, and his works were never printed again. A small movement began in 2003 to revive his reputation, but little of his work is still available to study.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This quote is likely from one of his essays written during his post-journalism career. Hazlitt wrote essays about politics, religion, and criticisms of artwork like Shakespeare&#8217;s plays. I love this quote because it essentially means you don&#8217;t know what you&#8217;re talking about if you haven&#8217;t tried it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hazlittshotel.com\/\">Hazlitt&#8217;s Hotel<\/a> is named after the ill-begotten author. The boutique hotel is in Soho, London, in the same building where Hazlitt last lived.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"section\" data-elementor-id=\"47637\" class=\"elementor elementor-47637\" data-elementor-post-type=\"elementor_library\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b317ab2 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"b317ab2\" data-element_type=\"container\" id=\"mediavine-advertisement-desktop\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-91875b8 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"91875b8\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-450af8e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"450af8e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">advertisement<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7685227 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7685227\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"content_hint\">\u00a0<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large uag-hide-mob\"><img data-dominant-color=\"598f86\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #598f86;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1200\" data-pin-url=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/road-trip-quotes\/?tp_image_id=69933\" src=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb027-1800x1200.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-69933 not-transparent\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb027-1800x1200.webp 1800w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb027-1200x800.webp 1200w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb027-390x260.webp 390w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb027-768x511.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb027-1536x1023.webp 1536w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb027-150x100.webp 150w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb027-jpg.webp 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large uag-hide-desktop uag-hide-tab\"><img data-dominant-color=\"448e99\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #448e99;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"799\" height=\"1200\" data-pin-url=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/road-trip-quotes\/?tp_image_id=69934\" src=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb028-799x1200.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-69934 not-transparent\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb028-799x1200.webp 799w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb028-533x800.webp 533w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb028-173x260.webp 173w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb028-768x1153.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb028-1023x1536.webp 1023w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb028-150x225.webp 150w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb028-jpg.webp 1332w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 799px) 100vw, 799px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>(<a href=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb027.jpg\">Download for Desktop<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb028.jpg\">Download for Mobile<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"preheader\">No. 14<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-bend-in-the-road-is-not-the-end-of-the-road-unless-you-fail-to-make-the-turn-helen-keller\"><strong>\u201cA bend in the road is not the end of the road unless you fail to make the turn.\u201d \u2013 Helen Keller<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Helen Keller lost sight and hearing after an illness when she was 19 months old. After several years of communicating with homemade hand signals, her parents hired Anne Sullivan. The lifelong companion taught Keller American Sign Language, how to read braille, and how to write. Keller became the first deaf and blind person in the United States to graduate with a bachelor&#8217;s degree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keller became an activist for people with disabilities, women&#8217;s suffrage, and labor rights. She published 12 books and dozens of articles during her lifetime. Working with organizations like the American Foundation for the Blind and the American Civil Liberties Union, Keller traveled around the world giving speeches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;A bend in the road is not the end of the road unless you fail to make the turn.&#8221; One of Keller&#8217;s many notable quotes is about optimism. Never give up, she championed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But it&#8217;s also a great road trip quote. On the surface, you could take this as a suggestion to drive safely. But dig a little deeper, and the meaning as a road trip quote is apparent: the road trip only ends when you don&#8217;t turn onto the next road.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"section\" data-elementor-id=\"47637\" class=\"elementor elementor-47637\" data-elementor-post-type=\"elementor_library\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b317ab2 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"b317ab2\" data-element_type=\"container\" id=\"mediavine-advertisement-desktop\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-91875b8 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"91875b8\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-450af8e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"450af8e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">advertisement<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7685227 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7685227\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"content_hint\">\u00a0<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large uag-hide-mob\"><img data-dominant-color=\"706a6a\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #706a6a;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1200\" data-pin-url=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/road-trip-quotes\/?tp_image_id=69935\" src=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb029-1800x1200.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-69935 not-transparent\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb029-1800x1200.webp 1800w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb029-1200x800.webp 1200w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb029-390x260.webp 390w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb029-768x511.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb029-1536x1023.webp 1536w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb029-150x100.webp 150w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb029-jpg.webp 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large uag-hide-desktop uag-hide-tab\"><img data-dominant-color=\"6b6668\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #6b6668;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"799\" height=\"1200\" data-pin-url=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/road-trip-quotes\/?tp_image_id=69936\" src=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb030-799x1200.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-69936 not-transparent\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb030-799x1200.webp 799w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb030-533x800.webp 533w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb030-173x260.webp 173w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb030-768x1153.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb030-1023x1536.webp 1023w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb030-150x225.webp 150w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb030-jpg.webp 1332w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 799px) 100vw, 799px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>(<a href=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb029.jpg\">Download for Desktop<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb030.jpg\">Download for Mobile<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"preheader\">No. 15<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-freedom-of-the-open-road-is-seductive-serendipitous-and-absolutely-liberating-aaron-lauritsen\"><strong>\u201cThe freedom of the open road is seductive, serendipitous and absolutely liberating.\u201d\u00a0\u2013Aaron Lauritsen<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Little is known of the self-published author Aaron Lauritsen aside from the details of his lone novel, <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3NVJMXS\"><em>100 Days Drive<\/em><\/a>. He&#8217;s a &#8220;former professional soldier and small business owner turned wanderer.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After a painful divorce in 2013, Lauritsen followed a growing trend of selling all his possessions, picking up stakes, and hitting the road. After a 30,000-mile road trip through 38 states and 7 Canadian provinces, he published a book about discovering himself on the open road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The freedom of the open road is seductive, serendipitous and absolutely liberating.&#8221; This quote from his memoir was probably more of a reflection on his life at the moment than a suggestion to others. But it works great as a suggestion, as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"section\" data-elementor-id=\"47637\" class=\"elementor elementor-47637\" data-elementor-post-type=\"elementor_library\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b317ab2 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"b317ab2\" data-element_type=\"container\" id=\"mediavine-advertisement-desktop\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-91875b8 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"91875b8\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-450af8e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"450af8e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">advertisement<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7685227 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7685227\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"content_hint\">\u00a0<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large uag-hide-mob\"><img data-dominant-color=\"4d6c4b\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #4d6c4b;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1200\" data-pin-url=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/road-trip-quotes\/?tp_image_id=69937\" src=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb031-1800x1200.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-69937 not-transparent\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb031-1800x1200.webp 1800w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb031-1200x800.webp 1200w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb031-390x260.webp 390w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb031-768x511.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb031-1536x1023.webp 1536w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb031-150x100.webp 150w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb031-jpg.webp 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large uag-hide-desktop uag-hide-tab\"><img data-dominant-color=\"517051\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #517051;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"799\" height=\"1200\" data-pin-url=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/road-trip-quotes\/?tp_image_id=69938\" src=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb032-799x1200.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-69938 not-transparent\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb032-799x1200.webp 799w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb032-533x800.webp 533w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb032-173x260.webp 173w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb032-768x1153.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb032-1023x1536.webp 1023w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb032-150x225.webp 150w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb032-jpg.webp 1332w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 799px) 100vw, 799px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>(<a href=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb031.jpg\">Download for Desktop<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb032.jpg\">Download for Mobile<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"preheader\">No. 16<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-when-all-s-said-and-done-all-roads-lead-to-the-same-end-so-it-s-not-so-much-which-road-you-take-as-how-you-take-it-charles-de-lint\"><strong>\u201cWhen all\u2019s said and done, all roads lead to the same end. So it\u2019s not so much which road you take, as how you take it.\u201d\u00a0\u2013 Charles de Lint<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike many quotes that sprang into existence from public speeches or interviews, this quote by Canadian writer Charles de Lint comes from the pages of his urban fantasy novel, <em>Greenmantle<\/em>. Urban fantasy is a subgenre that places fantastical elements in the modern world, like Stephen King&#8217;s <em>Carrie <\/em>and the 1960s television show <em>Bewitched<\/em>. Inspired by these successes, de Lint authored several urban fantasy novels beginning in the 1980s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Published in 1988, <em>Greenmantle <\/em>is one of de Lint&#8217;s earliest novels. It&#8217;s an acquired taste, though, and one I have never been fond of trying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The quote from the book is memorable and appropriate for describing how it\u2019s the journey, not the destination, that should mean the most during a road trip. I like this quote for its symbolic meaning, although I&#8217;m certain de Lint was not thinking about a road trip when he wrote it.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t<section data-elementor-type=\"section\" data-elementor-id=\"27930\" class=\"elementor elementor-27930\" data-elementor-post-type=\"elementor_library\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c478303 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"c478303\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-afb5e21 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"afb5e21\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-894aa4e e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"894aa4e\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-df83c1e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"df83c1e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">do you love<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3badda2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"3badda2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">road trips?<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9eef3ab elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"9eef3ab\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Sign up and be the first to read new road trip itineraries and destination guides.<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2c372a9 elementor-mobile-button-align-stretch elementor-button-align-stretch elementor-widget elementor-widget-form\" data-id=\"2c372a9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;button_width&quot;:&quot;20&quot;,&quot;step_next_label&quot;:&quot;Next&quot;,&quot;step_previous_label&quot;:&quot;Previous&quot;,&quot;step_type&quot;:&quot;number_text&quot;,&quot;step_icon_shape&quot;:&quot;circle&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"form.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<form class=\"elementor-form\" method=\"post\" name=\"New Form\">\n\t\t\t<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"post_id\" value=\"27930\"\/>\n\t\t\t<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"form_id\" value=\"2c372a9\"\/>\n\t\t\t<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"referer_title\" value=\"Road Trips &amp; Coffee\" \/>\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-form-fields-wrapper elementor-labels-\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-field-type-email elementor-field-group elementor-column elementor-field-group-email elementor-col-80 elementor-field-required\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<label for=\"form-field-email\" class=\"elementor-field-label elementor-screen-only\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tEmail\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/label>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<input size=\"1\" type=\"email\" name=\"form_fields[email]\" id=\"form-field-email\" class=\"elementor-field elementor-size-md  elementor-field-textual\" placeholder=\"Email\" required=\"required\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-field-group elementor-column elementor-field-type-submit elementor-col-20 e-form__buttons\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<button class=\"elementor-button elementor-size-md\" type=\"submit\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Sign Up<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/form>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-78e00f4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"78e00f4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Yes!

By his death over six decades later, he&#8217;d won four Pulitzer Prizes for Poetry and etched his name into history as one of America&#8217;s greatest poets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The Road Not Taken <\/em>is one of his most frequently quoted poems. But it&#8217;s also one of his most misunderstood. It was the first poem in Frost&#8217;s debut collection, <em>Mountain Interval<\/em>, published in 1916.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Two roads diverged in a wood, and I\u2014<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>I took the one less traveled by.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>People have always interpreted the poem as symbolic of standing at a crossroads and choosing the course of your life. By picking the road less traveled, you charted your own course instead of simply going with the flow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Except that&#8217;s not at all what Frost intended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A later line in the poem notes the roads had been worn about the same. The poem wasn&#8217;t about which road you <em>chose but which<\/em> you <em>didn&#8217;t<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And that&#8217;s why this is a great road trip quote. It doesn&#8217;t matter which road you drive. One way or another, you&#8217;ll eventually get to your destination. And whichever road you choose, you&#8217;ll miss something on the other road. Either way, just enjoy the drive!<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"section\" data-elementor-id=\"47637\" class=\"elementor elementor-47637\" data-elementor-post-type=\"elementor_library\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b317ab2 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"b317ab2\" data-element_type=\"container\" id=\"mediavine-advertisement-desktop\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-91875b8 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"91875b8\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-450af8e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"450af8e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">advertisement<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7685227 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7685227\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"content_hint\">\u00a0<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large uag-hide-mob\"><img data-dominant-color=\"8d9a8f\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #8d9a8f;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1200\" data-pin-url=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/road-trip-quotes\/?tp_image_id=69941\" src=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb035-1800x1200.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-69941 not-transparent\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb035-1800x1200.webp 1800w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb035-1200x800.webp 1200w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb035-390x260.webp 390w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb035-768x511.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb035-1536x1023.webp 1536w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb035-150x100.webp 150w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb035-jpg.webp 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large uag-hide-desktop uag-hide-tab\"><img data-dominant-color=\"93a09f\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #93a09f;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"799\" height=\"1200\" data-pin-url=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/road-trip-quotes\/?tp_image_id=69942\" src=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb036-799x1200.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-69942 not-transparent\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb036-799x1200.webp 799w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb036-533x800.webp 533w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb036-173x260.webp 173w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb036-768x1153.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb036-1023x1536.webp 1023w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb036-150x225.webp 150w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb036-jpg.webp 1332w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 799px) 100vw, 799px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>(<a href=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb035.jpg\">Download for Desktop<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb036.jpg\">Download for Mobile<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"preheader\">No. 18<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-sometimes-the-road-less-traveled-is-less-traveled-for-a-reason-jerry-seinfeld\"><strong>\u201cSometimes the road less traveled is less traveled for a reason.\u201d\u00a0\u2013 Jerry Seinfeld<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Jerry Seinfeld was in his early twenties before becoming interested in stand-up comedy.

The result was the first telephone that eventually led to the smartphone you are probably using to read this.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"section\" data-elementor-id=\"47637\" class=\"elementor elementor-47637\" data-elementor-post-type=\"elementor_library\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b317ab2 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"b317ab2\" data-element_type=\"container\" id=\"mediavine-advertisement-desktop\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-91875b8 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"91875b8\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-450af8e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"450af8e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">advertisement<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7685227 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7685227\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"content_hint\">\u00a0<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large uag-hide-mob\"><img data-dominant-color=\"7a736b\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #7a736b;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1200\" data-pin-url=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/road-trip-quotes\/?tp_image_id=69947\" src=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb041-1800x1200.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-69947 not-transparent\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb041-1800x1200.webp 1800w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb041-1200x800.webp 1200w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb041-390x260.webp 390w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb041-768x511.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb041-1536x1023.webp 1536w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb041-150x100.webp 150w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb041-jpg.webp 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large uag-hide-desktop uag-hide-tab\"><img data-dominant-color=\"87756c\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #87756c;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"799\" height=\"1200\" data-pin-url=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/road-trip-quotes\/?tp_image_id=69948\" src=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb042-799x1200.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-69948 not-transparent\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb042-799x1200.webp 799w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb042-533x800.webp 533w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb042-173x260.webp 173w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb042-768x1153.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb042-1023x1536.webp 1023w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb042-150x225.webp 150w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb042-jpg.webp 1332w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 799px) 100vw, 799px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>(<a href=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb041.jpg\">Download for Desktop<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb042.jpg\">Download for Mobile<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"preheader\">No. 21<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-i-will-not-follow-where-the-path-may-lead-but-i-will-go-where-there-is-no-path-and-i-will-leave-a-trail-ralph-waldo-emerson\">\u201c<strong>I will not follow where the path may lead, but I will go where there is no path, and I will leave a trail.&#8221; \u2013 Ralph Waldo Emerson<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Like many popular quotes, a version of this one is often incorrectly attributed to Ralph Waldo Emerson. However, the famous poet never wrote anything remotely resembling this quote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I will not follow where the path may lead, but I will go where there is no path, and I will leave a trail.&#8221; This line appeared in &#8220;Wind-Wafted Wild Flowers&#8221; by Muriel Strode and was first published in 1903. The metaphorical poem was about keeping an open mind and accepting the world around you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Literally, the line is often lamented by park managers across the country. &#8220;Stay on the trail&#8221; signs are frequently posted along state and national park hiking trails. Sometimes, these signs warn that wandering off the trail can be dangerous, but more often, it&#8217;s just courteous so as not to destroy fragile vegetation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But metaphorically, as a road trip quote, it&#8217;s like other quotes about taking the road less traveled. Unless you&#8217;re blazing a trail with an oxen-drawn wagon across the Rockies, you&#8217;re not leaving a trail behind where you drive. However, you could take a route not suggested by Google Maps, make your own adventure, and leave a new trail for others to follow.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"section\"

class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-if-you-come-to-a-fork-in-the-road-take-it-yogi-berra\"><strong>\u201cIf you come to a fork in the road, take it.\u201d \u2013 Yogi Berra<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The funny thing about this quote from legendary baseball player and manager Yogi Berra is that he did say it \u2013 but not in the way most people think he said it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yogi Berra played 19 seasons in Major League Baseball as a catcher for the New York Yankees \u2013 but his final season was with their crosstown rival New York Mets. After retiring from playing, Berra coached for the Yankees, Mets, and Houston Astros. Finally, Berra retired in 1989.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1998, Berra published <em>The Yogi Book: I Really Didn\u2019t Say Everything I Said<\/em>. In the book, Berra explains the story behind one of his most famous quotes. He gave directions to his house to Joe Garagiola, a close friend and fellow baseball player. When he said, &#8220;If you come to a fork in the road, take it,&#8221; it was because either direction he went would eventually lead to Berra&#8217;s house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think that&#8217;s why this is such a great road trip quote, but you must understand the story behind it. The quote simply means you&#8217;ll eventually get there whichever way you go.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"section\" data-elementor-id=\"47637\" class=\"elementor elementor-47637\" data-elementor-post-type=\"elementor_library\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b317ab2 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"b317ab2\" data-element_type=\"container\" id=\"mediavine-advertisement-desktop\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-91875b8 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"91875b8\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-450af8e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"450af8e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">advertisement<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7685227 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7685227\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"content_hint\">\u00a0<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large uag-hide-mob\"><img data-dominant-color=\"868b7e\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #868b7e;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1200\" data-pin-url=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/road-trip-quotes\/?tp_image_id=69951\" src=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb045-1800x1200.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-69951 not-transparent\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb045-1800x1200.webp 1800w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb045-1200x800.webp 1200w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb045-390x260.webp 390w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb045-768x511.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb045-1536x1023.webp 1536w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb045-150x100.webp 150w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb045-jpg.webp 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large uag-hide-desktop uag-hide-tab\"><img data-dominant-color=\"7e8987\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #7e8987;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"799\" height=\"1200\" data-pin-url=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/road-trip-quotes\/?tp_image_id=69952\" src=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb046-799x1200.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-69952 not-transparent\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb046-799x1200.webp 799w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb046-533x800.webp 533w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb046-173x260.webp 173w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb046-768x1153.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb046-1023x1536.webp 1023w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb046-150x225.webp 150w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb046-jpg.webp 1332w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 799px) 100vw, 799px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>(<a href=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb045.jpg\">Download for Desktop<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb046.jpg\">Download for Mobile<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"preheader\">No. 23<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-because-the-greatest-part-of-a-road-trip-isn-t-arriving-at-your-destination-it-s-all-the-wild-stuff-that-happens-along-the-way-emma-chase\"><strong>\u201cBecause the greatest part of a road trip isn\u2019t arriving at your destination. It\u2019s all the wild stuff that happens along the way.\u201d \u2013 Emma Chase\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Emma Chase is a New York Times bestselling author of steamy romance novels. Her debut novel, <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3Q83SQ3\"><em>Tangled<\/em><\/a>, published in 2014, is centered around Drew Evens, a playboy businessman in New York City. The book was the first in a four-part series that included <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3pZKryo\"><em>Twisted<\/em><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3K9fwXh\"><em>Tamed<\/em><\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3Q2kNDO\"><em>Tied<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In <em>Tamed<\/em>, the focus shifts to Drew&#8217;s best friend, Matthew Fisher, as he navigates the course of love in the Big Apple. One of the lines of dialogue in the book is this quote, &#8220;Because the greatest part of a road trip isn&#8217;t arriving at your destination.

After the critical success of <em>Spaced<\/em>, a sitcom featuring two Londoners who move in with each other after meeting only once, launched his career. He followed up with critical hits <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3pSF8kq\"><em>Shaun of the Dead<\/em><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3OqM3KM\"><em>Hot Fuzz<\/em><\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3OqQp4W\"><em>Scott Pilgrim vs. the World<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2017, Wright made a dramatic shift with the action-thriller <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3Q6Bw8U\"><em>Baby Driver<\/em><\/a>. Starring Ansel Elgort, Lily James, Jon Bernthal, and Jon Hamm, the movie is about Baby (Ansel Elgort), a slick getaway driver for bank robbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the interesting twist on the movie \u2013 and motive behind this quote \u2013 was explained by Kevin Spacey&#8217;s character, Doc, &#8220;He had an accident when he was a kid. Still has a hum in the drum. Plays music to drown it out.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"section\" data-elementor-id=\"59872\" class=\"elementor elementor-59872\" data-elementor-post-type=\"elementor_library\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6a93b79 elementor-hidden-desktop elementor-hidden-tablet e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"6a93b79\" data-element_type=\"container\" id=\"mediavine-advertisement-mobile\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f47d793 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"f47d793\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b537ca5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"b537ca5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">advertisement<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9cd65f6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9cd65f6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"content_hint\">\u00a0<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\n\n\n<p>Baby (Elgort) plays music on his iPod through wired earbuds throughout the movie. Wright used this as an opportunity to craft a unique soundtrack for the film featuring classic hits from The Beach Boys, The Commodores, and John Spencer Blues Explosion. The music was so important to the film that Wright secured the licensing rights to every song before filming started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the onslaught of interviews following the smashing hit, Wright talked about his solo road trip across the United States ten years before making the movie. He <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsweek.com\/2017\/06\/30\/edgar-wright-new-musical-car-chase-mashup-baby-driver-628021.html\">told Newsweek<\/a> it was &#8220;one of the best things I&#8217;ve ever done, my kind of Jack Kerouac moment.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And during the interview, he uttered one of my favorite road trip quotes, &#8220;If you&#8217;re on a road trip, you need driving music.&#8221; Just as Wright has a playlist for road trips, I have a playlist of hit songs perfect for the open road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just in case you&#8217;re interested, you can listen to the Baby Driver Original Soundtrack on <a href=\"https:\/\/music.apple.com\/us\/playlist\/baby-driver-music-from-the-motion-picture\/pl.6f7f515d1e374bf7be78dd99cb83330d\">Apple Music<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/playlist\/6PDXrjun1PrnqOC2iFQity\">Spotify<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"section\" data-elementor-id=\"47637\" class=\"elementor elementor-47637\" data-elementor-post-type=\"elementor_library\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b317ab2 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"b317ab2\" data-element_type=\"container\" id=\"mediavine-advertisement-desktop\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-91875b8 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"91875b8\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-450af8e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"450af8e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">advertisement<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7685227 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7685227\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"content_hint\">\u00a0<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large uag-hide-mob\"><img data-dominant-color=\"78887e\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #78887e;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1200\" data-pin-url=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/road-trip-quotes\/?tp_image_id=69955\" src=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb049-1800x1200.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-69955 not-transparent\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb049-1800x1200.webp 1800w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb049-1200x800.webp 1200w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb049-390x260.webp 390w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb049-768x511.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb049-1536x1023.webp 1536w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb049-150x100.webp 150w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb049-jpg.webp 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large uag-hide-desktop uag-hide-tab\"><img data-dominant-color=\"6d8691\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #6d8691;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"799\" height=\"1200\" data-pin-url=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/road-trip-quotes\/?tp_image_id=69956\" src=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb050-799x1200.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-69956 not-transparent\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb050-799x1200.webp 799w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb050-533x800.webp 533w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb050-173x260.webp 173w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb050-768x1153.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb050-1023x1536.webp 1023w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb050-150x225.webp 150w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb050-jpg.webp 1332w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 799px) 100vw, 799px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>(<a href=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb049.jpg\">Download for Desktop<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb050.jpg\">Download for Mobile<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"preheader\">No. 25<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-it-s-a-road-trip-it-s-about-adventure-it-s-not-like-we-have-somewhere-to-go-john-green\"><strong>\u201cIt\u2019s a\u00a0road trip!

If the road trip is more about the journey than the destination, then it&#8217;s not like you have somewhere to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"section\" data-elementor-id=\"47637\" class=\"elementor elementor-47637\" data-elementor-post-type=\"elementor_library\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b317ab2 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"b317ab2\" data-element_type=\"container\" id=\"mediavine-advertisement-desktop\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-91875b8 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"91875b8\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-450af8e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"450af8e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">advertisement<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7685227 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7685227\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"content_hint\">\u00a0<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large uag-hide-mob\"><img data-dominant-color=\"707749\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #707749;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1200\" data-pin-url=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/road-trip-quotes\/?tp_image_id=69957\" src=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb051-1800x1200.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-69957 not-transparent\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb051-1800x1200.webp 1800w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb051-1200x800.webp 1200w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb051-390x260.webp 390w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb051-768x511.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb051-1536x1023.webp 1536w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb051-150x100.webp 150w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb051-jpg.webp 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large uag-hide-desktop uag-hide-tab\"><img data-dominant-color=\"6f7843\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #6f7843;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"799\" height=\"1200\" data-pin-url=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/road-trip-quotes\/?tp_image_id=69958\" src=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb052-799x1200.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-69958 not-transparent\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb052-799x1200.webp 799w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb052-533x800.webp 533w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb052-173x260.webp 173w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb052-768x1153.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb052-1023x1536.webp 1023w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb052-150x225.webp 150w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb052-jpg.webp 1332w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 799px) 100vw, 799px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>(<a href=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb051.jpg\">Download for Desktop<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb052.jpg\">Download for Mobile<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"preheader\">No. 26<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-open-road-is-a-beckoning-a-strangeness-a-place-where-a-man-can-lose-himself-william-least-heat-moon\"><strong>&#8220;The open road is a beckoning, a strangeness, a place where a man can lose himself.&#8221; \u2013 William Least Heat-Moon<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1978, 38-year-old William Least Heat-Moon separated from his wife and lost his job as a teacher. Staring at an early mid-life crisis, Heat-Moon converted his personal vehicle into a camper van and embarked on a three-month road trip around the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Heat-Moon was inspired by the &#8220;blue highways,&#8221; the color Rand McNally chose for two-lane rural roads. After completing his 13,000-mile journey, he published a book named <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3QbDJjt\">Blue Highways<\/a>. The travelogue chronicles his self-reflecting adventure, the interesting characters he met along the way, and the history of the small towns he visited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The open road is a beckoning, a strangeness, a place where a man can lose himself.&#8221; This quote from the book is typical of his writing style \u2013 plain prose but with deep meanings. It&#8217;s a great road trip quote because it sums up the belief that the road trip is about the journey, not the destination.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"section\" data-elementor-id=\"47637\" class=\"elementor elementor-47637\" data-elementor-post-type=\"elementor_library\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b317ab2 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"b317ab2\" data-element_type=\"container\" id=\"mediavine-advertisement-desktop\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-91875b8 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"91875b8\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-450af8e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"450af8e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">advertisement<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7685227 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7685227\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"content_hint\">\u00a0<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large uag-hide-mob\"><img data-dominant-color=\"5f6548\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #5f6548;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1200\" data-pin-url=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/road-trip-quotes\/?tp_image_id=69959\" src=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb053-1800x1200.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-69959 not-transparent\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb053-1800x1200.webp 1800w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb053-1200x800.webp 1200w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb053-390x260.webp 390w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb053-768x511.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb053-1536x1023.webp 1536w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb053-150x100.webp 150w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb053-jpg.webp 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large uag-hide-desktop uag-hide-tab\"><img data-dominant-color=\"626748\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #626748;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"799\" height=\"1200\" data-pin-url=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/road-trip-quotes\/?tp_image_id=69960\" src=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb054-799x1200.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-69960 not-transparent\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb054-799x1200.webp 799w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb054-533x800.webp 533w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb054-173x260.webp 173w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb054-768x1153.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb054-1023x1536.webp 1023w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb054-150x225.webp 150w, https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb054-jpg.webp 1332w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 799px) 100vw, 799px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>(<a href=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb053.jpg\">Download for Desktop<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.roadtripsandcoffee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/road-trip-quotes-jb054.jpg\">Download for Mobile<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"preheader\">No. 27<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-journey-of-a-thousand-miles-starts-beneath-one-s-feet-laozi\"><strong>&#8220;A journey of a thousand miles starts beneath one&#8217;s feet.&#8221; \u2013 Laozi<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is certainly the oldest quote appearing on this list. Sometime in the late 4<sup>th<\/sup> century BC, Laozi wrote the <em>Tao De Ching<\/em>, an ancient Chinese text on Taoist philosophy and religion. The <em>Tao De Ching <\/em>is divided into 81 short chapters and contains only 5,000 Chinese characters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chapter 64 of the text includes the quote above, although in a slightly different version, &#8220;A journey of a thousand Chinese miles starts beneath one&#8217;s feet.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The common translation, although erroneous by any translating method, reads like this, &#8220;A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Either way, the philosophical meaning of the quote is apparent. A long journey starts at the beginning, with you consciously deciding to take it. Although more commonly applied to life-changing decisions, I think this also makes a great road trip quote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before the road trip can begin, you have to choose to take a road trip. Put all your worries aside, and just enjoy the ride.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"section\" data-elementor-id=\"47637\" class=\"elementor elementor-47637\"
