Travel Quote Tuesday | Saint Augustine

β€œThe world is a book, and those who do not travel read only one page.” ~ Saint Augustine

Saint Augustine was a Christian bishop of the Hippo Regius, now known as Annaba in Algeria. He lived in the 4th and 5th centuries CE and his writings influenced the development of Western Christianity and philosophy.

As a book lover and a keen traveller, this quote resonates with me on multiple levels.

    You can tell the difference between people who read and those who do not, and those who travel and those who do not. There’s breadth of view and curiosity – plus an open mindedness not to judge too hard.

    Yes, I think it’s the realisation and understanding that morality isn’t absolute. That what is considered taboo or disgusting in one’s own culture is not considered so by another culture, and vice versa. This can be such a good reminder to have an open mind and to be less black and white about everything.
