Book Quote by Henry Rollins
“I beg young people to travel. If you don't have a passport, get one….the re are lessons that you can't get out of a book that are waiting for you at the other end of that flight. A lot of people - Americans and Europeans - come back and go, "ohhhhh." And the lightbulb goes on.”
