William Hazlitt

The soul of a journey is liberty, perfect liberty, to think, feel, do just as one pleases.

One of the pleasantest things in the world is going a journey; but I like to go by myself.

I cannot see the wit of walking and talking at the same time.

Fashion takes the firmest hold of the most flimsy and narrow minds, of those whose emptiness conceives of nothing excellent but what is thought so by others.
