We don’t need words like ‘worklust’ or ‘homemakinglust.’ But travel?

To have imagination is inevitably to be dissatisfied with where you live… in our wanderlust, we are lovers looking for consummation.’

You lovers of knowledge! So what have you done out of your love of knowledge up to now? Have you already stolen and murdered so as to know how a thief and a murderer feels?
Friedrich Nietzsche
-
