“Why do people have to be this lonely? What's the point of it all? Millions of people in this world, all of them yearning, looking to others to satisfy them, yet isolating themselves. Why? Was the earth put here just to nourish human loneliness?”
Haruki Murakami“It was all very isolating to think about, what people use to define themselves and their actions. And at the end of the day, did it make people feel better? Maybe it did. Maybe it gave them something to grasp at in the ambiguous vein of life on Earth.”
Rhian J. Martin, A Different Familiar“If the devil succeeds in separating you and isolating you from other Christians, then he can destroy you”
Sunday Adelaja“As the connections have been broken by the fragmentation and isolation of work, they can be restored by restoring the wholeness of work. There is work that is isolating, harsh, destructive, specialized or trivialized into meaninglessness. And there is work that is restorative, convivial, dignified and dignifying, and pleasing. Good work is not just the maintenance of connections - as one is now said to work "for a living" or "to support a family" - but the enactment of connections. It is living, and a way of living; it is not support for a family in the sense of an exterior brace or prop, but is one of the forms and acts of love. (pg. 133, The Body and the Earth)”
Wendell Berry, The Art of the Commonplace: The Agrarian Essays“Here the earth, as if to prove its immensity, empties itself. Gertrude Stein said: 'In the United States there is more space where nobody is than where anybody is. That is what makes America what it is.' The uncluttered stretches of the American West and the deserted miles of roads force a lone traveler to pay attention to them by leaving him isolated in them. This squander of land substitutes a sense of self with a sense of place by giving him days of himself until, tiring of his own small compass, he looks for relief to the bigness outside -- a grandness that demands attention not just for its scope, but for its age, its diversity, its continual change. The isolating immensity reveals what lies covered in places noisier, busier, more filled up. For me, what I saw revealed was this (only this): a man nearly desperate because his significance had come to lie within his own narrow ambit.”
William Least Heat-Moon, Blue Highways“Because the silence is exhausting and isolating in a way it needn't be.”
Ruby Elliot, It's All Absolutely Fine“I don't think I could think of a single thing that's more isolating than being famous.”
Lady Gaga“How disorienting and isolating immortality must be, and how strong he must be to weather it.”
Michael Talbot, The Delicate Dependency: A Novel of the Vampire Life“Part of our western outlook stems from the scientific attitude and its method of isolating the parts of a phenomenon in order to analyze them.”
Arthur Erickson“When I took my first job, I was among only a handful of women. It was isolating at times. My love for technology kept me going, and I got to where I am today driven by my passion and self confidence.”
