The world's end can never be reached
by means of traveling through the world,
Yet without reaching the world's end
there is no release from suffering.
Therefore, truly, the world-knower, the wise one,
gone to the world's end, fulfiller of the holy life,
having known the world's end, at peace,
longs not for this world or another.
-Buddha, "The Connected Discourses of the Buddha"
