Blog Topic 2: Travel

Many of us talked about loving to travel in our first blog posts. I love to travel too, so I'm offering one of my favorite quotes from one of my favorite authors. Please blog about this quote. Share from your life experience; feel free to agree or disagree.

“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 in The Innocents Abroad, 1857

 

* fatal to= if a is fatal to b, then a kills b

*need it sorely on these accounts= really need it for these reasons
