May Sarton
“Loneliness is the poverty of self; solitude is richness of self.”
May Sarton

Rainer Maria Rilke
“And you should not let yourself be confused in your solitude by the fact that there is something in you that wants to move out of it.”
Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet

Aldous Huxley
“The more powerful and original a mind, the more it will incline towards the religion of solitude.”
Aldous Huxley

Mother Teresa
“We too are called to withdraw at certain intervals into deeper silence and aloneness with God, together as a community as well as personally; to be alone with Him — not with our books, thoughts, and memories but completely stripped of everything — to dwell lovingly in His presence, silent, empty, expectant, and motionless. We cannot find God in noise or agitation.”
Mother Teresa, In the Heart of the World: Thoughts, Stories and Prayers

Thomas Merton
“But there is greater comfort in the substance of silence than in the answer to a question.”
Thomas Merton
