Summary

This quote, taken from the song "On the Turning Away" by Pink Floyd, urges people to stop neglecting those who are vulnerable and exhausted. It calls for an end to ignoring the callousness within ourselves. Instead, it envisions a world where we all come together and care for one another. The quote emphasizes that it's insufficient to merely observe and do nothing. It raises the question, is it merely an ambitious dream to hope for a time when we won't turn away from those in need?

It is natural for a young fellow to like the acquaintance of females and customary for him to keep them company when occasion serves. Some one of them is more agreeable to him than the rest; there is something, he knows not what, pleases him, he knows not how, in her company. This I take to be what is called love with the greatest part of us.
