“All great and precious things are lonely.”
— John Steinbeck

Simplified Meaning:
Great and special things often stand alone. Think about a diamond—it is rare and precious, which makes it different from common stones. This uniqueness can make it seem isolated. Or consider an inventor with a groundbreaking idea, like Thomas Edison when he invented the light bulb. He spent many lonely nights working in his lab while others were sleeping or out socializing. This solitude was necessary for him to create something valuable. Similarly, if you’re working on something important or pursuing a unique goal, you might feel lonely at times. But this loneliness can be a sign that you're doing something truly special.
