Anna AkhmatovaWithout love, I'm more at ease, I'm sure. The sky is high, the mountain wind is sweeping, And all my thoughts are innocent and pure.
About This Quote
This quote is a reminder that we can find peace in our lives when we have love around us. This love may be family members, friends, or even a lover. But it is something that can bring us a sense of calm and confidence in the face of adversity. But, what does "without love" mean? Clearly, this is not about being without someone who loves you.
In fact, it's often the opposite. It's about the absence of love from other people in your life. In this case, it's about being unable to feel your best when you're around others.
This is a common experience for many children who grow up in difficult relationships with their parents.
