Summary

This quote by Thomas Wolfe captures the essence of true romance. It suggests that genuine romanticism does not lie in wanting to run away from life's challenges and difficulties, but rather in passionately embracing life and seizing every moment. It implies that real romance lies in making the most of one's time and experiences, cherishing the present, and not letting life slip away unnoticed. It emphasizes the importance of being engaged, involved, and fully present in the world around us, rather than disengaged or detached.
