Hey Gypsies! I'd like to share with you my collection of quotes and passages to inspire travel, fulfillment, wonder, new adventures, and fresh starts. A lot of these resonated with me during my own life transitions, and reading them now reinforces my gratitude for this amazing and exciting career I have on yachts & jets. <3
Lawrence K. Fish
“Now more than ever do I realize that I will never be content with a sedentary life. That I will always be haunted by the thoughts of a sun-drenched elsewhere”
Isabelle Eberhardt
Elsie De Wolfe
High Poet’s Society
Mary Oliver
“I am not the same, having seen the moon shine on the other side of the world.”
Mary Anne Radmacher
Julia Molloy
“Don’t grow weary with your wonder.
For there are sunsets still to see,
Lands you must get lost in,
And other selves you’ll come to be.
Don’t grow weary with your wonder.
For this is just the opening act,
And if wonder’s what you search for
Wonder’s what you will attract
So when weary be your world
And darkness drags the daylight under
Turn your face up to the stars
And don’t go weary with your wonder”

Lewis Carroll
Ayn Rand
“You are the books you read, the films you watch, the music you listen to, the people you meet, the dreams you have, the conversations you engage in. You are the sound of the ocean, the breath of fresh air, the brightest light and the darkest corner. You are the collective of every experience you have had in your life. You are every single day. So drown yourself in a sea of knowledge and existence. Let the words run through your veins and the colors fill your mind”
Jac Vanek
Rumi
Mark Twain
Jennifer Lee
“Blame if or praise it, there is no denying the wild horse in us.”
Virginia Woolf
Oscar Wilde

“I saw that my life was a vast, glowing, empty page and I could do anything I wanted.”
Jack Kerouac
“Though we travel the world over to find beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it not.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Roald Dahl
John F. Kennedy
“It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living, I want to know what you ache for – and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart’s longing. It doesn’t interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool – for love – for your dreams – for the adventure of being alive.”
Oriah Mountain Dreamer
Sir Richard Burton
“For what it’s worth… it’s never too late, or in my case too early, to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit. Start whenever you want. You can change or stay the same. There are no rules to this thing. We can make the best of the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before, I hope you meet people who have a different point of view. I hope you live a life you’re proud of, and if you’re not, I hope you have the courage to start all over again.”
F. Scott Fitzgerald
