Sanhita Baruah
“I, sometimes, fear that probably I'll just keep changing cities, and may be someday I'll also travel the world, but never find another soul who thinks exactly the way I do.”
Sanhita Baruah

Matthew Goodman
“The writer Mary Cadwalder Jones felt obliged to begin her book European Travel for Women: Notes and Suggestions by remarking that "unless travellers are willing to leave national prejudices behind them, and ready to see whatever is characteristic and excellent in a foreign country, without finding fault because it is unfamiliar, they had better remain at home."
"Americans," she pointedly added, "are among the worst offenders in this regard.”
Matthew Goodman, Eighty Days: Nellie Bly and Elizabeth Bisland's History-Making Race Around the World
