George Gordon ByronI live not in myself, but I become Portion of that around me: and to me High mountains are a feeling, but the humof human cities torture.
About This Quote
When you are living in yourself, you are truly alone. There is no one to your left or right, within or without. You are completely isolated from all of the people around you. That’s why it is so important to live in yourself and not in yourself, because being alone can be so lonely sometimes.
You have to find a way to live in the world around you, with its people and its challenges. But, when you do that, instead of being lonely, you feel fulfilled.
