I have to quote this from one excellent book that I am reading for the second time. Art of Travel by Alain de Botton.
"Of all modes of transport, the train is perhaps the best aid to thought. The views have none of the potential monotony of the ship or the plane, moving quicly enough for us not to get exasperated but slowly enough to allow us to identify objects... At the end of hours of train-dreaming, we may feel we have been returned to ourselves- that is, brought back into contact with emotions and ideas of importance to us. It is not necessarily at home that we best encounter our true selves. The furniture insists that we can not change beacuse it does not; the domestic setting keeps us tethered to the person we are in ordinary life, who may not be who we essentially are."
I love to read this book while travelling and it gives me good feelings and inspiration every time.
