This quote is saying that no matter where you live or how you live you are some how connected to the town. The troubles of the town have spread to even the best of people, such as Kumalo's brother, john; and his sister, Gertrude.
The significance of this quote is that Johannesburg is so large that no matter what road you take or where you go, you will still end up in Johannesberg.
So far in the book, this quote is accurately depicting the story line. The story starts out with the priest having to go to Johannesburg to find his sister who is sick and to find his son. He has to use his and his wifes savings to go on this journey to Johannesburg. There he also finds his brother. He is finding that practically his whole family has been attracted to Johannesburg, even him self in a way.
The quote symbolizes how in life their is always a place that all roads seem lead. In this book that place is Johannesberg. It is a place that no matter where you go, your final destination will always be in this case Johannesburg.
the quote means that johannesburg is the central part of town and that all roads go there for one specific reason. and the people dont come back just because all troubles stay there
The significance of this quote is that, there is no leaving Johannesberg once you get there. This is why in the beginning of the book Rev. Kumalo's wife says that nobody has ever returned from Johannesberg.
This qoute means that you can never leave Johannesberg, you will always be connected. Johannesberg is a place where you can be open to new things and once you get used to it you can never go back. People can be free and live a completely different way of living to the way they lived before.
Johannesberg is a large, growing city. The significance of the quote is that everything is leading to the place that is the most popular and influential. Like all roads lead to Rome sort of thing.
The significance of this quote is that Johannesburg is so large that no matter what road you take or where you go, you will still end up in Johannesberg.
The significance of this quote is that once you have entered Johannesberg you will not be able to leave. This is because Johannesberg is so different than any part of life outside of it, that once you get use to it you will never be able to return to your old way of life. If you try to leave on a road leading away from it you will turn around and end up heading back to Johannesberg.
The significance of this quote is to say that wherever you go your heart will lead you back to your home, whether or not you get there is determined by fate.
I agree with Pawl's statement on how Johannesberg is the middle of everything and that everything comes and goes from there. It appears he has put a lot of thought into it.
I think that this quote could also be related to "Heart of Darkness" in that the loss of innocence is a common theme between the town of Johannesburg and the inner-station.
The significance of this quote is that no matter what you do in your life people always see opportunity in johannesburg so everyone goes there. People see opportunity for jobs, shelter, and a new life in Johannesberg so no matter how crowded it gets when things get rough where their home is everyone always has one place they know they can run too.
This quote has a good and bad significance. People go to Johannesberg to find opportunity which is a great thing but then when they get there they make decisions that they think will better themselves for example Gertrude persuing prostitution but really that isnt the best decision. In the end I believe that something really good will come out of the city that will bring seperated families back together.
A.Lohr- I beieve that now in the story Johannesburg isnt a very good place. Kumolas son wides up there and gets into trouble. So i believe that if you wonder from home you will end up in a bad place like Johannesburg.
The significance of this quote is the fact that everyone around Johannesberg in the story is in someway atrracted or drawn to it because of all of the events and troubles that occur in Johannesberg.
AAAAAARON!!!!! says.... the significance of this quote is simple. Where ever you go/are/live, u will always find a way to johannesberg because it is connected to every road/trail.
This quote has importance becuase it shows that no matter where you are that you always have a place to go back to. Johannesberg is represented as home the one place anyone can go and call their home.
I think this means that everyone is tied to Johannesberg in different ways. To some, Johannesberg is somewhere they can find shelter or work when there is none. To others, like Kumalo or Gertrude, Johannesberg has already attracted a family member or a loved one. So, this quote symbolizes that in South Africa, everything and everyone is linked in some way or another to Johannesberg
i agree with everyone that where ever you go and with whatever decision you make you will end up in the same place which is Johannesburg and that the troubles have spread to people through at the town

Johannesberg is the place that is becoming bigger and popular. Everyone goes there but they never seem to return. Like a one way road.

all of the above
I think this means that everyone is tied to Johannesberg in different ways. To some, Johannesberg is somewhere they can find shelter or work when there is none. To others, like Kumalo or Gertrude, Johannesberg has already attracted a family member or a loved one. So, this quote symbolizes that in South Africa, everything and everyone is linked in some way or another to Johannesberg
