About this Quote

In this quote, author Anita Brookner is highlighting the idea of self-analysis and its function. She suggests that self-analysis is a process that does not necessarily lead to any concrete or conclusive responses. Rather, it is a continuous and ever-evolving art type that permits individuals to explore and comprehend themselves on a deeper level. This can be seen as both a positive and unfavorable aspect of self-analysis. On one hand, it allows for constant development and self-discovery, however on the other hand, it can be aggravating and nonstop. Ultimately, Brookner is stressing the importance of self-analysis as a method of self-expression and understanding, instead of a method to an end.
