About This Quote

The quote, “For those who know the value of and exquisite taste of solitary freedom (for one is only free when alone), the act of leaving is the bravest and most beautiful of all.” It doesn’t matter if a person has a lot to contribute to the world, but if they feel they have nothing to contribute, it is better for them to leave. If a person isn’t free to be themselves, then they aren’t free at all.
