There are a lot of lonely kids in this world, but the problem is that they don't know about each other. If the lonely kids could just team up, a lot of good things would happen, but the world is incredibly afraid of lonely people teaming up, and so it does its best to keep them apart.Matthew Quick
About This Quote
The world, in this case, is the kind of person who refuses to unite or work to bring these kids together. That's because, for one thing, there are a lot of lonely people in the world; for another, they're always afraid to let them unite; and yet another because they don't know how. It's like they're afraid that teamwork will somehow hurt that person's pride (or maybe even their ego). So the world isolates them, isolates themselves, isolates all those who are different.
