About this Quote

This quote by Edwin Way Teale speaks to the idea that in the future, time and area might become significantly scarce. Teale suggests that time to be alone and space to move about may end up being difficult to come by. This might be due to a variety of factors, such as population growth, urbanization, and the increasing demands of modern life. As the world ends up being more congested and technology advances, it might become harder to find the time and space to be alone and move easily. Teale's quote acts as a tip to appreciate the time and space we have now, as it may not always be available in the future. It also works as an alerting to be conscious of how we utilize our time and area, as it may become significantly valuable.
