How all my brain was in tumult, and all my heart in insurrection! Yet in what darkness, what dense ignorance, was the mental battle fought!

About This Quote

The paragraph above describes a man who is so focused on his own desires and thoughts. He is so lost in his own little world that he cannot see the world around him. He cannot see the truth because he is blinded by his own selfishness. As you read this, you have probably felt something similar to what the man feels in the paragraph above.

This feeling of being trapped in your own mind is crippling. When you are stuck in your own brain it can be really hard to get outside of it. This is why the quotation above describes a man who was completely blind to reality.
