Summary

This quote by AndrÃ© Gide emphasizes the idea that achieving meaningful growth and success requires embracing uncertainty and leaving behind the familiar. To discover new lands, both literally and metaphorically, one must be willing to venture into the unknown, leaving behind the safety and comfort of what they know. It requires a leap of faith and the courage to let go of the shore, which represents stability and security, in order to embark on a journey of exploration and discovery that may take considerable time and effort. Only then can new horizons and opportunities be revealed.

It is the individual only who is timeless. Societies, cultures, and civilizations -- past and present -- are often incomprehensible to outsiders, but the individual's hungers, anxieties, dreams, and preoccupations have remained unchanged through the millenia.
