Quote by Samuel Johnson

I have ever since (his wife's death) seemed to myself broken off from mankind; a kind of solitary wanderer in the wild of life, without any direction, or fixed point of view: a gloomy gazer on the world to which I have little relation

I have ever since (his wife's death) seemed to myself broken
