Vacation Quotes

Luxury cruises were designed to make something unbearable (a two week transatlantic crossing) seem bearable. There's no need to do it now, there are planes. You wouldn't take a vacation where you ride on a stage coach for two months but there's all-you-can-eat shrimp. You wouldn't take a vacation where you had an old-timey appendectomy without anesthesia while steel drums play. You might take a vacation while riding on a camel for two days IF they gave you those little animal towels wearing... Tina Fey
The adventure is over. Everything gets over, and nothing is ever enough. Except the part you carry with you. It's the same as going on a vacation. Some people spend all their time on a vacation taking pictures so that when they get home they can show their friends evidence that they had a good time. They don't pause to let the vacation enter inside of them and take that home. E. L. Konigsburg
The rituals surrounding vacations among Manhattan's wealthiest and best-connected citizens are strange and specific. By vacations I don't mean country houses, which are part of the regular ebb and flow of life and which are frequently subjects for complaint - The kids never want to go! The caretaker missed the roof leak! The pipes froze! - as though having a six-thousand-square-foot, cedar-shingled cottage on five acres overlooking the ocean is nothing more or less than a constant test of... A. Whitney Brown
[from an entry by her daughter Camille] American culture doesn't allow much room for slow reflection. I watch the working people who are supposed to be my role models getting pushed to go, go, go and take as little vacation time as possible. And then, often, vacations are full of endless activity too, so you might come back from your "break" feeling exhausted ... Whether you prefer to sit on a rock in a peaceful place, or take a wooden spoon to a simmering pot, it does the body good to quiet... Barbara Kingsolver
Mary Crosby quote: "I can enjoy a vacation as well as the next person, as long as..."
I can enjoy a vacation as well as the next person, as long as I know it's a vacation and not a premature retirement. Mary Crosby
The thing I love most about going on vacation is that I get to leave behind any kind of schedule. My entire life is scheduled from morning to night, and when I'm on vacation, there is no schedule. Kelly Clarkson
The number of vacations me and my husband have canceled... if you really want a job, book a non-refundable vacation. But obviously we're blessed too. Melissa Rosenberg
With both Caddyshack and Vacation, it's not like the subjects were serious enough that they engaged my interest for another round. I love the characters, and the actors were great, but I didn't see the need to make another Vacation movie. Harold Ramis
Milton Berle quote: "You don't need to travel, laughter is an instant vacation"
You don't need to travel, laughter is an instant vacation Milton Berle
Anne Tyler quote: "he thought of dying as a kind of adventure, something new that..."
...he thought of dying as a kind of adventure, something new that he hadn't yet experienced. Like an unusual vacation trip. Anne Tyler
We writers are the worst kind of cruel, Because we worship our own stories and poems, And what human can compete with metaphors? Writers stand still and yet vacate our homes Inside our fantasies. We are word-whores, With libidos and egos of balsa wood. We’d have sex with our books, if only we could. Sherman Alexie
John Steinbeck quote: "in 50 years, did you ever have a vacation, you little, silly,..."
in 50 years, did you ever have a vacation, you little, silly, half-pint, smidgin of a wife? John Steinbeck
There was not a moving up into vacated places; there was simply an anachronistic staying on between a vanishing past and an incalculable future. F. Scott Fitzgerald
Margaret Atwood quote: "I follow suit, said the lion, vacating his coat of arms and..."
I follow suit, said the lion, vacating his coat of arms and movie logos; and the eagle said, Get me off this flag. Margaret Atwood
To be frank with you, Melchior, I have almost the same feeling since I read your explanation.——It fell at my feet during the first vacation days. I was startled. I fastened the door and flew through the flaming lines as a frightened owl flies through a burning wood——I believe I read most of it with my eyes shut. Frank Wedekind
