Shakespeare weighs in on the contradictions of travel

“A traveller! By my faith, you have great reason to be sad: I fear you have sold your own lands to see other men’s; then, to have seen much and to have nothing, is to have rich eyes and poor hands.”
–William Shakespeare, As You Like It (1599), Act 4, Scene 1
