“Not till we are lost, in other words, not till we have lost the world, do we begin to find ourselves.”

What does it mean?

Only when we leave behind familiar places and routines do we start to understand who we are.

• “I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.”– Henry David Thoreau
• “Things do not change; we change.”– Henry David Thoreau
