detachment quotes

  • At times I suffer from the strangest sense of detachment from myself and the world about me; I seem to watch it all from the outside, from somewhere inconceivably remote, out of time, out of space, out of the stress and tragedy of it all.

    - H(erbert) G(eorge) Wells
      TheWar of theWorlds, bk.1, ch.7.
