Quote by Ted Simon, Jupiter

To be worth making at all a journey has to be made in the mind as much as in the world of objects and dimensions. What value can there be in seeing or experiencing anything for the first time unless it comes as a revelation?

Summary

This quote highlights the importance of inner transformation and personal growth in the process of journeying and experiencing new things. It suggests that the value of a journey lies not only in the physical exploration of places, but also in the expansion of our perspectives and beliefs. Simply seeing or experiencing something for the first time is not enough; it is the ability to have our preconceived notions challenged, shattered, or elevated that brings about the true revelation and impact of the journey. It questions the significance of mere observation without a deeper understanding or shift in perception.
