Whitney Houston’s cover of “I Will Always Love You” was constantly on my FM Walkman radio around that time. I think that made me cry because I associated it with absolutely no one.

About This Quote

This quote speaks to the idea that even the most successful people are still alone and isolated from other people. The success of Whitney Houston did not bring her any closer to her fans and this is what makes the greatest tragedy of it all. Sometimes we feel that we want to be around people who share our passion and dreams and interests and we want to be able to connect with other people on a more personal level, but we need to know that we don’t have to sacrifice our dreams for the sake of being around others. People who were once extremely popular can fall out of favor because they don’t have anything new or exciting to offer anymore.
