If you walk far enough you’ll meet yourself.

The earliest close match located (1895) appears as a humorous, anonymously attributed remark about getting lost in Boston’s confusing street layout; later writers reused and adapted the idea for other purposes (e.g., politics, fashion cycles, spiritual self-discovery, and fantasy/time-space distortions).

The line plays on the paradox of going so far—physically or metaphorically—that you loop back to where you started and confront a version of yourself. Depending on the setting, it can suggest circular paths, repeating trends, ideological extremes converging, or an inner journey that ends in self-recognition.

If you travel far enough, one day you will recognize yourself coming down the road to meet yourself. And you will say—YES.

If you walk far enough you’ll meet yourself.

Walk far enough and you will meet yourself, coming the other way.

Travel far enough, you meet yourself.
