As long as anyone believes that his ideal and purpose is outside him, that it is above the clouds, in the past or in the future, he will go outside himself and seek fulfillment where it cannot be found. He will look for solutions and answers at every point except where they can be found – in himself.
Erich Fromm

It takes so much effort to search outside too.
Strange to look back at all the searching.
This above all: To your own self, be true.
William Shakespeare
Sometimes the best way to figure out who you are is to get to that place where you don’t have to be anything else.

The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes.
