Quote by Antonio Machado
Wanderer, your footsteps are the road, and nothing more; wanderer, there is no road, the road is made by walking. By walking one makes the road, and upon glancing behind one sees the path that never will be trod again. Wanderer, there is no road-- Only wakes upon the sea.Caminante, son tus huellas el camino, y nada más; caminante, no hay camino, se hace camino al andar. Al andar se hace camino, y al volver la vista atrás se ve la senda que nunca se ha de volver a pisar. Caminante, no hay camino, sino estelas en la mar.
Summary
This quote by Antonio Machado suggests that in life, there is no pre-determined path or roadmap. Instead, each individual creates their own path as they walk through life. The idea is that by taking action and moving forward, one literally forges their own road. It also emphasizes the importance of reflection, as looking back allows us to see the unique path we have taken. The imagery of "wakes upon the sea" implies that our journey is like a trail left behind, constantly changing and evolving. Ultimately, the quote reminds us of the inherent freedom and responsibility we have in shaping our own paths.
