"If you are hardy enough to strip life down to its simplicities you may be able to create an environment in which you can gain perspective. Certainly you can provide yourself with the opportunity for profound and reflective thinking, and you can give yourself a rest from the tense, nervous expenditure of energy demanded of you every waking moment of your life in the city. ... The nostalgia for a simpler life is perfectly healthy and understandable, and in some cases even necessary."
This was written in 1952. Imagine what she would say now!
