This quote may be a little overused by me, but I'll use it anyway: "Going slowly [...] was the best way of being reminded that there is a relationship between Here and There, and that travel narrative was the story of There and Back." -Paul Theroux, from Dark Star Safari. I like this because Paul says beautifully that we should cherish the journey and what we tell from it is what others will know of it. Simple, common sense, I guess. But I like it!
