Welcome back to Quote Corner! Sarah here, and today, I’m going to be sharing a quote from one of my favorite novels, The Awakening by Kate Chopin. For anyone who feels like they just don’t conform with societal expectations, and for anyone who feels like they are being pulled in directions that simply is not the path you’re meant to be on, this book is for you. Chopin has such a beautiful way with words that keeps you re-reading the same lines, because they hold so much meaning and truth. Without further ado, the quote: “Even as a child she had lived her own small life within herself. At a very early period she had apprehended instinctively the dual life - that outward existence which conforms, the inward life which questions” (Chopin 17). And now, for my question! Do you feel like you are living a dual-life in any way? This is quite a personal question, so ponder on your own and share your thoughts if you feel comfortable! As for me, I feel like I often live a dual-life, being torn between societal expectations and my yearning to escape back to nature. On that note, check back next week for one of my favorite nature-loving Transcendentalist! Thanks for stopping by!
