The quote from Iris Murdoch's "The Bell" suggests that individuals who withdraw from society in search of peace or an escape from human weaknesses often find that this retreat does not provide the refuge they anticipated. Instead of gaining relief from the imperfections of themselves and others, they are often met with disappointment. This highlights the idea that human frailty is an inherent part of life that cannot be easily avoided by isolation.
