Quote by John Le Carr, The Chancellor Who
Coming home from very lonely places, all of us go a little mad: whether from great personal success, or just an all-ight drive, we are the sole survivors of a world no one else has ever seen.
Summary
This quote suggests that when we return to solitude after experiencing something extraordinary or spending time alone in unfamiliar places, we tend to become slightly insane. Whether it is due to achievement or simply a long night drive, we are left as the only ones with firsthand knowledge of a world and an experience that nobody else has ever witnessed or understood. It implies that this uniqueness and isolation can have a profound impact on our psyche.
