A man's subconscious self is not the ideal companion. It lurks for the greater part of his life in some dark den of its own, hidden away, and emerges only to taunt and deride and increase the misery of a miserable hour.

About This Quote

I think it is safe to say that we each have a subconscious self, and we all occasionally acknowledge it. But as far as “loneliness” goes, there is definitely something about the line between our conscious and unconscious selves. For instance, if we are sad, we might want to talk with someone about it, but we don’t feel like reaching out to people. If we are lonely, we might want to reach out and connect with someone, but we don’t feel like calling or texting first. We just need a little more time on our own.
