About this Quote

This quote by Gertrude Stein talks to the duality of human nature. We frequently discover ourselves in a state of contradiction, desiring one thing in one minute and something else in the next. We are constantly in search of balance, but it can be challenging to discover. We wish to be alone to show and charge, but we likewise long for the business of others. We want to be around individuals to feel linked and comprehended, however we also need time to ourselves to process our thoughts and sensations. This quote speaks to the intricacy of humanity and the difficulty of finding a balance in between our need for connection and our need for solitude.
