Quote by Virginia Woolf
For now she need not think of anybody. She coud be herself, by herself. And that was what now she often felt the need of - to think; well not even to think. To be silent; to be alone. All the being and the doing, expansive, glittering, vocal, evaporated; and one shrunk, with a sense of solemnity, to being oneself, a wedge-shaped core of darkness, something invisible to others... and this self having shed its attachments was free for the strangest adventures.
Summary
This quote depicts the desire for solitude and introspection. The speaker acknowledges the overwhelming nature of social interactions and seeks refuge in being alone. The feeling of being stripped of external obligations allows one to focus solely on oneself and explore limitless possibilities. In this state, disconnected from others, individuals are free to navigate their own unique and mysterious experiences, ultimately finding solace and liberation in solitude.
