pjthompsonRandom quote of the day:
"From the moment of birth we are, all of us, on a voyage of exploration, not, as we fondly think, to new pastures—though these we'll doubtless come upon—but to what, a voice within tells us, is, in fact, our homeland. We think of it as the way forward but in truth...it is the way back. We return to whence we have come. And if there be answers, they will outstrip us. We will find them arrived before us."
—P. L. Travers
This is another unsourced quote. I have no idea where it really comes from.
*T. S. Eliot, Little Gidding:
"We shall not cease from exploration. And the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time."
