Montaigne
"ratio et prudentia curas,
Non locus effusi late maris arbiter, aufert.
[it is reason and wisdom which take away cares, not places affording wide views over the sea.]
(Horace, Epistles, I, xi, 25-6.)...
...Socrates was told that some man had not been improved by travel. 'I am sure he was not,' he said. 'He went with himself!'
Quid terras alio calentes
Sole mutamus? patris quis exul
Se quoque fugit?
[Why do we leave for lands warmed by a foreign sun? What fugitive from his own land can flee from himself?]
(Horace, Odes, II, xvi, 18-20)."
Montaigne's message
"You in different places" shouldn't, and doesn't necessarily, equate to "different you".
