Seneca · On travel as a cure for discontent

Letters 28.5

If you saw this fact clearly, you would not be surprised at getting no benefit from the fresh scenes to which you roam each time through weariness of the old scenes. For the first would have pleased you in each case, had you believed it wholly yours. As it is, however, you are not journeying; you are drifting and being driven, only exchanging one place for another, although that which you seek,—to live well,—is found everywhere.

Seneca, Letters to Lucilius 28.5, translated by Richard Mott Gummere
