This quote is a perfect example of a disheartening reality that can be a major source of depression. If you have never experienced this, you might be surprised to see how much it affects those who have been deeply hurt by others. In this quote, Percy Bysshe Shelley was speaking about his lack of knowledge of the hearts of people. Shelley was only able to know about his own heart as he felt alone, as if he had no one else in the world that understood him. It is not uncommon for one to feel alone and misunderstood.
