"Writing a book is a very lonely business. You are totally cut off from the rest of the world, submerged in your obsessions and memories."

Previous Quote

Any decent society must generate a feeling of community. Community offsets loneliness. It gives people a vitally necessary sense of belonging. Yet today the institutions on which community depends are crumbling in all the techno-societies. The result is a spreading plague of loneliness.

— Alvin Toffler
