- Seneca the Younger

About this Quote

This quote by Lucius Annaeus Seneca talks to the idea that when an individual is constantly taking a trip, they may have numerous associates, however no real good friends. This is because when a person is continuously travelling, they are never in one location long enough to form significant relationships. All over is no place in this sense, as the person is never in one place long enough to really learn more about the people and the culture. This quote speaks with the idea that although travelling can be a terrific experience, it can likewise be isolating and lonesome. It is very important to make the effort to form meaningful relationships with people, even if it suggests remaining in one location for a longer time period. Without meaningful relationships, an individual can feel disconnected and isolated, no matter the number of places they have gone to.
