He who has attained to only some degree of freedom of mind cannot feel other than a wanderer on the earth – though not as a traveller to a final destination: for this destination does not exist. But he will watch and observe and keep his eyes open to see what is really going on in the world; for this reason he must not let his heart adhere too firmly to any individual thing; within him too there must be something wandering that takes pleasure in change and transience


Friedrich Nietzsche
