Quote by George Eliot
Is it not rather what we expect in men, that they should have numerous strands of experience lying side by side and never compare them with each other?
Summary
This quote questions the behavior of expecting men to have multiple experiences but never reflecting upon or comparing them. It raises the notion that perhaps society doesn't encourage men to contemplate and draw connections between different aspects of their lives or different experiences. It implies that men are commonly expected to compartmentalize their experiences, preventing them from gaining a deeper understanding or utilizing insights from different areas of their life.
