Quote by Thornton Wilder

It's when you're safe at home that you wish you were having an adventure. When you're having an adventure you wish you were safe at home.

It's when you're safe at home that you wish you were having

Summary

This quote highlights the human tendency to romanticize and desire what we don't currently have. In the comforts of home, we yearn for excitement and new experiences, craving the thrill of adventure. Conversely, in the midst of an adventure, the uncertainties and challenges may make us long for the security and familiarity of home. The grass is always greener on the other side, encouraging us to appreciate the present moment while acknowledging the allure of the unknown.
