“Loneliness is the poverty of self; 

solitude is richness of self.”

“I hold this to be the highest task 

of a bond between two people: 

that each should stand guard 

over the solitude of the other.”

~Rainer Maria Rilke, 

(Letters to a Young Poet)

“A man can be himself 

only so long as he is alone; 

and if he does not love solitude, 

he will not love freedom; 

for it is only when he is alone 

that he is really free.”

~Arthur Schopenhauer, 

(Essays and Aphorisms)

“I live in that solitude which is painful in youth, 

but delicious in the years of maturity.”

~Albert Einstein
