About this Quote

This quote by Barbara Kingsolver speaks with the significance of understanding one's surroundings. When someone is blind, they are unable to take in the physical space around them, and this can cause a feeling of being detached from the world. Without being able to take in the physical area around them, an individual can feel as if they do not exist, as if they are no place at all. This quote emphasizes the importance of understanding one's environment, and how it can affect one's sense of self.
