Quote by Janet Frame

It would be nice to travel if you knew where you were going and where you would live at the end or do we ever know, do we ever live where we live, we're always in other places, lost, like sheep.

It would be nice to travel if you knew where you were going

Summary

This quote reflects on the ambiguity and uncertainty that often comes with the concept of travel and living. It suggests that it would be comforting to have a clear destination and a definitive place to call home. However, it also questions whether we truly know where we live and if we are ever truly present in our surroundings, constantly feeling disconnected and like lost beings traveling from one place to another. The comparison to sheep further emphasizes the notion of being aimless and directionless in our lives.
