“I was required to exchange chimeras of boundless grandeur for realities of little worth.”

I love this quote, it puts into words what I oftentimes feel.
It also reminds me of The Logical Song by Supertramp:

“When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful
[…]
But then they sent me away to teach me how to be sensible”

“If the study to which you apply yourself has a tendency to weaken your affections, and to destroy your taste for those simple pleasures in which no alloy can possibly mix, then that study is certainly unlawful, that is to say, not befitting the human mind.”

“I believed myself totally unfitted for the company of strangers.”

I feel you, Victor 🙂.
But I must admit… acquaintances are even worse.
