Solitude


 For solitude is sometimes best society, And short retirement urges sweet return
  John Milton

 I hold this to be the highest task for a bond between two people: that each protects the solitude of the other
  Rainer Maria Rilke

 I never said, 'I want to be alone.' I only said, 'I want to be left alone.' There is all the difference.
  Greta Garbo

 In solitude we give passionate attention to our lives, to our memories, to the details around us.
  Virginia Woolf

 In the streets and in society I am almost invariably
cheap and dissipated, my life is unspeakably mean.
No amount of gold or respectability would in the least
redeem it,-- dining with the Governor or a member of Congress!!
But alone in the distant woods or fields,
in unpretending sprout-lands or pastures tracked by rabbits,
even in a bleak and, to most, cheerless day, like this,
when a villager would be thinking of his inn,
I come to myself, I once more feel myself grandly related,
and that cold and solitude are friends of mine.
I suppose that this value, in my case, is equivalent
to what others get by churchgoing and prayer.
I come home to my solitary woodland walk as the homesick go home.
I thus dispose of the superfluous and see things as they are,
grand and beautiful. I have told many that I walk every day
about half the daylight, but I think they do not believe it.
I wish to get the Concord, the Massachusetts, the America,
out of my head and be sane a part of every day.
  Henry David Thoreau

 Loneliness and the feeling of being unwanted is the most terrible poverty.
  Mother Teresa of Calcutta

 Loneliness is and always has been the central and inevitable experience of every man.
  Thomas Wolfe

 My Aunt Maria asked me to read the life of Dr. Chalmers,
which, however, I did not promise to do.
Yesterday, Sunday, she was heard through the partition
shouting to my Aunt Jane, who is deaf, 'Think of it!
He stood half an hour today to hear the frogs croak,
and he wouldn't read the life of Chalmers.'
  Henry David Thoreau

 O solitude, where are the charms That sages have seen in thy face? Better dwell in the midst of alarms, Than reign in this horrible place.
  William Cowper

 Solitude is as needful to the imagination as society is wholesome for the character.
  James Russell Lowell

 Solitude is bearable only with God
  Andre Gide

 Solitude is fine, but you need someone to tell you that solitude is fine.
  Honore de Balzac

 Solitude is often the best society

 Solitude is painful when one is young, but delightful when one is more mature.
  Albert Einstein

 Solitude is the profoundest fact of the human condition. Man is the only being who knows he is alone.
  Octavio Paz
