About this Quote
This quote by Eric Hoffer speaks to the deep sense of isolation that can include failure. It suggests that failure can be so isolating that it can make a person seem like a complete stranger in their own house. This isolation is greater than any other sort of solitude because it is a solitude of the soul. It is a loneliness that comes from the sensation of being detached from the world and from oneself. It is an isolation that can be so deep therefore pervasive that it can make a person seem like they are living in a foreign land. This loneliness can be so overwhelming that it can make a person seem like they are completely alone worldwide. It is a solitude that can be tough to overcome, but it is possible to discover a way out of it.

"A person who doubts himself is like a man who would enlist in the ranks of his enemies and bear arms against himself. He makes his failure certain by himself being the first person to be convinced of it"
