Quote by John Berger
Ours is the century of enforced travel of disappearances. The century of people helplessly seeing others, who were close to them, disappear over the horizon.
Summary
This quote highlights the compelling nature of travel and the sad reality of losing loved ones to distance. It suggests that our current era is characterized by a sense of forced movement and separations, where people are often compelled to travel against their will. It also captures the feeling of helplessness and sadness as individuals watch their loved ones gradually fade away as they go further away, leaving behind only memories and the knowledge of their departure.
