In Genesis, it says that it is not good for a man to be alon

Summary

This quote reflects the conflicting nature of solitude. While Genesis suggests that humans are not meant to be alone, the quote highlights the contrasting satisfaction and comfort experienced when one finds solace in solitude. There are instances when being alone offers relief from the complexities and distractions of social interactions, providing an opportunity for self-reflection, introspection, and peace of mind. It speaks to the inherently contradictory aspects of human nature and the varying needs we have for both connection and solitude.

If that spirit is God, then I found God...If that spirit is life, then I found life...If that spirit is awe, then I found awe.

All I had to do was remember, for what I was looking for I somehow already knew.

Family likeness has often a deep sadness in it. Nature, that great tragic dramatist, knits us together by bone and muscle, and divides us by the subtler web of our brains; blends yearning and repulsion; and ties us by our heart-strings to the beings that jar us at every movement.
