Quote by Sir Winston Churchill

We are stripped bare by the curse of plenty.

We are stripped bare by the curse of plenty.

Summary

This quote suggests that having an abundance of something can actually be detrimental to us. When we have too much, whether it be material possessions, information overload, or even options and choices, it can leave us overwhelmed and stripped of our ability to appreciate and value what we have. The curse of plenty implies that an excess of anything can deplete our sense of contentment, leading to dissatisfaction rather than fulfillment.

That illusion of a world so shaped that it echoes every groa

That illusion of a world so shaped that it echoes every groan, of human beings so tied together by common needs and fears that a twitch at one wrist jerks another, where however strange your experience other people have had it too, where however far you travel in your own mind someone has been there before you - - is all an illusion. We do not know our own souls, let alone the souls of others. Human beings do not go hand in hand the whole stretch of the way. There is a virgin forest in each; a snowfield where even the print of birds' feet is unknown. Here we go alone, and like it better so. Always to have sympathy, always to be accompanied, always to be understood would be intolerable.
