"Each day I live in a glass room unless I break it with the thrusting of my senses and pass through the splintered walls to the great landscape"

About this Quote

This quote by Mervyn Peake speaks with the idea of breaking devoid of the confines of our everyday lives. The glass room is a metaphor for the ordinary, daily regimens that can trap us and keep us from experiencing the charm of life. By thrusting our senses, we can break through the walls of the glass space and experience the great landscape of life. This might imply taking threats, attempting brand-new things, and pressing ourselves out of our comfort zones. It might also mean taking the time to appreciate the beauty of the world around us, and to be conscious of the moments that make life special. By breaking through the glass room, we can experience the joys of life and the beauty of the world.
