Quote reblogged from AUSTIN KLEONThe great contemporary terror is anonymity. If Lionel Trilling was right, if the property that grounded the self, in Romanticism, was sincerity, and in modernism it was authenticity, then in postmodernism it is visibility. So we live exclusively in relation to others, and what disappears from our lives is solitude.William Deresiewicz, “The End of Solitude” (via austinkleon)
