Ibn Battuta quotes
-
“Traveling - it offers you a hundred roads to adventure, and gives your heart wings!”
-- Ibn Battuta -
“Traveling - it leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller.”
-- Ibn Battuta -
“I have indeed - praise be to God - attained my desire in this world, which was to travel through the earth, and i have attained in this respect what no other person has attained to my knowledge.”
-- Ibn Battuta -
“Their women are of surpassing beauty, and are shown more respect than the men. These people are Muslims, punctilious in observing the hours of prayer, studying the books of law, and memorizing the Koran. Yet their women show no bashfulness before men and do not veil themselves, though they are assiduous in attending prayers. Any man who wishes to marry one of them may do so, but they do not travel with their husbands, and, even if one desired to do so, her family would not allow her to go. The women have their 'friends' and 'companions' amongst the men outside their own families.”
