At a time when I was trying to come to terms with my place in the world I ran into this quote at the start of a book. It still rings so true.
“We do not receive wisdom, we must discover it for ourselves, after a journey through the wilderness which no one else can make for us, which no one can spare us, for our wisdom is the point of view from which we come at last to regard the world.” Marcel Proust
