Quote by Herman Melville

It is not down in any map, true places never are.

It is not down in any map, true places never are.

Summary

This quote implies that true places, those that hold deep meaning and significance, cannot be accurately depicted or defined on a map. It suggests that these meaningful places cannot be confined to geographical coordinates alone; rather, they exist within our personal experiences and emotional connections. True places are subjective and unique to each individual, transcending physical boundaries and reflecting the intangible aspects of our lives.
