Summary

This quote by John Milton suggests that escaping or flying away from something does not necessarily indicate hatred towards humanity. It implies that not everyone is suited for the hustle and bustle of an active life, and finding contentment by quietly introspecting and keeping the mind calm is not a sign of unhappiness or discontent. It highlights the idea that different individuals have varying needs and preferences for finding fulfillment and peace within themselves.
