Additional quotes by Hans Christian Andersen

Travelling expands the mind rarely.

Il mare appariva come una volta eterea, come un cielo solido e senza stelle sotto di noi, e nell'aria trasparente si perdeva nell'immensità; nessuna striscia, scura o luminosa, limitava l'orizzonte; c'era una chiarità, una vastità infinita, che non si può dipingere né descrivere, se non nella profondità eterna del pensiero.

Chi ha una casa in patria può provare nostalgia, ma chi nulla possiede si sente a casa ovunque.
