The first is from Paul Theroux, author of some great travel narratives, as quoted in the NY Times: "...the fact that a place is out of fashion, forgotten or not yet on the map doesn't make it less interesting, just more itself, and any visit perhaps more of a challenge."
The second is from my friend Betsy who is traveling around the world with her husband for some indeterminate amount of time, as quoted on their website http://www.marriedwithluggage.com/: "Life is short. Live your dream."
A quote from k.d. lang: "To be happy, you have to make that decision."
And finally a quote from an obit of a person I didn't know but spoke the truth: "She did what she needed to do to find her own fulfillment, and she succeeded."
Inspiration is where you find it or read it. These 4 quotes struck me as well worth reading and remembering.
