Quote by E. M. Forster

Railway termini are our gates to the glorious and the unknown. Through them we pass out into adventure and sunshine, to them, alas! we return.

Railway termini are our gates to the glorious and the unknow

Summary

This quote highlights the bittersweet nature of railway termini, which represent both a gateway to exciting journeys and a reminder of eventual returns. It suggests that these stations symbolize opportunities for adventure and new experiences, as travelers venture out into the glorious and unknown world beyond. However, it also acknowledges the sad reality that these journeys must eventually come to an end, and individuals will find themselves back at the same termini they began from, longing for the sunshine and excitement of travel once again.
