The world does so well without me, that I am moved to wish that I could do equally well without the world

Robertson Davies, a renowned Canadian novelist, playwright, and critic, often explored themes of identity, isolation, and the complexities of human relationships in his works. The quote, “The world does so well without me, that I am moved to wish that I could do equally well without the world,” encapsulates a sentiment that is prevalent in Davies’ writing – a sense of alienation and a longing for connection.
