A line from Boris Pasternak's 1957 novel Doctor Zhivago is circulating widely: that genuine life means merging with the lives of those around us, and that unshared happiness is not happiness. People are pairing the quote with the film Into the Wild and Eddie Vedder's soundtrack, using it to reflect on solitude, happiness and belonging.
Why now: The quote strikes a chord with audiences revisiting Into the Wild's themes of isolation and the need for human connection.
