Solitude is indeed dangerous for a working intelligence. We need to have around us people who think and speak. When we are alone for a long time we people the void with phantoms
Guy de Maupassant
Image
Solitude is as needful to the imagination as society is wholesome for the character.
James Russell Lowell
Image
Solitude is not measured by the miles of space that intervene between a man and his fellows.
Henry David Thoreau
Image
Solitude was my only consolation - deep, dark, deathlike solitude.
Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
Image
Solitude is independence. It had been my wish and with the years I had attained it. It was cold. Oh, cold enough! But it was also still, wonderfully still and vast like the cold stillness of space in which the stars revolve.
Hermann Hesse
Image
Solitude, as I understand it, does not signify an unhappy state, but rather secret royalty, profound incommunicability yet a more or less obscure knowledge of an invulnerable singularity.
Jean Genet
Image
Solitude is fine, but you need someone to tell you that solitude is fine.
Honore de Balzac
Image
Solitude is very different from a 'time-out' from our busy lives. Solitude is the very ground from which community grows. Whenever we pray alone, study, read, write, or simply spend quiet time away from the places where we interact with each other directly, we are potentially opened for a deeper intimacy with each other.
Henri Nouwen
Image
Solitude is one thing and loneliness is another.
May Sarton
Image
Solitude is the furnace of transformation. Without solitude we remain victims of our society and continue to be entangled in the illusions of the false self.
Henri Nouwen
Image
Solitude is the place of purification and transformation, the place of the great struggle and the great encounter.
Henri Nouwen
Image
Solitude is only a good idea if you have the right people along to share it.
Jack McDevitt
Image
Solitude is un-American.
Erica Jong
Image
Solitude is different from loneliness, and it doesn't have to be a lonely kind of thing.
Fred Rogers
Image
Solitude is a condition best enjoyed in company.
Eleanor Catton
Image
Solitude, I reflected, is the one deep necessity of the human spirit to which adequate recognition is never given in our codes. It is looked upon as a discipline or penance, but hardly ever as the indispensable, pleasant ingredient it is to ordinary life, and from this want of recognition come half our domestic troubles.
Freya Stark
Image
Solitude matters. And for some people it's the air they breathe.
Susan Cain
Image
Solitude is not a way of running away from life ... from our feelings. On the contrary. This is the time we sort them out, air them, get over them, and go on without the burden of yesterday.
Joan D. Chittister
Image
Solitude with God repairs the damage done by the fret and noise and clamour of the world.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Solitude is such a potential thing. We hear voices in solitude, we never hear in the hurry and turmoil of life we receive counsels and comforts, we get under no other condition.
Amelia Barr
Image
Solitude is strength to depend on the presence of the crowd is weakness. The man who needs a mob to nerve him is much more alone than he imagines.
Paul Brunton
Image
Solitude is bearable only with God.
Andre Gide
Image
Solitude is unbearable for those who can not bear themselves.
John Lancaster Spalding
Image
Solitude terrifies the soul at twenty.
Moliere
