In the world a man lives in his own age; in solitude in all

Summary

This quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson suggests that while a person may physically live within a specific time period, their true essence and individuality transcends time. It highlights the idea that human beings can feel alone or isolated even when surrounded by others, as their unique thoughts, experiences, and perspectives set them apart. Thus, solitude is portrayed as a timeless state that allows individuals to connect with their own inner selves and be free from the limitations of societal norms and expectations.

I love out-of-the-way, rugged places. For me, holidays are about the experiences, and the people, and the memories, rather than sitting on a nice beach getting tanned. I try to plant myself where I am and embrace what is there in front of me.
