Quote by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
One can be instructed in society, one is inspired only in solitude.
Summary
This quote suggests that while society plays a role in teaching us the norms, values, and rules of the collective, true inspiration can only be found when one is alone. In a social setting, we often conform to the expectations and influence of others, limiting our ability to think independently and creatively. However, in solitude, we have the freedom to explore our own thoughts, reflect on our experiences, and connect with our inner selves, which can lead to moments of inspiration and personal growth.
