"All roads indeed lead to Rome, but theirs also is a more mystical destination, some bourne of which no traveller knows the name, some city, they all seem to hint, even more eternal"

- Richard Le Gallienne

About this Quote

This quote speaks to the concept of a journey, both physical and spiritual. The phrase "all roadways lead to Rome" is a metaphor for the idea that all courses cause a common location. In this case, the destination is not a physical place, but a more mystical and spiritual one. It is a place that is unidentified to all travelers, a city that is everlasting and beyond our understanding. This quote recommends that our journey in life is not just about reaching a physical destination, however also about finding a deeper, more significant understanding of ourselves and the world around us. It is a pointer that our journey is not only about the destination, however likewise about the journey itself.
