“ In solitude you don’t need to make an impression on the world, so the world has some opportunity to make an impression on you.”
I do like this quote, from a collection of stories exulting in solitude. The book is Pond by Claire-Louise Bennett and the quote is taken from a review in last weekend’s FT. I’ve started to find most newspapers either depressing or full of news (I already know about) not reviews or analysis. The major exceptions are the FT and the New York Times, especially the weekend editions.
