Quote by Steve Schmidt

The price for independence is often isolation and solitude.

The price for independence is often isolation and solitude.

Summary

This quote suggests that achieving independence, whether it be in terms of personal growth or breaking away from societal norms, can come at the cost of feeling isolated and lonely. While independence may grant individual freedom and autonomy, it can also distance us from others who may not understand or support our choices. Embracing our autonomy may mean sacrificing the sense of belonging and connection that comes from conforming to the expectations of others or relying on their validation. Thus, this quote highlights the trade-off between independence and the potential social isolation that may accompany it.
