I think we carry home on our backs.

About This Quote

This is a good metaphor for life. It is often said that the world is a book and we are the pages. We carry home on our backs the knowledge, experiences, education, and wisdom that we have acquired over the course of our lives. Thus, it can be said that we are what we have learned.
