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

“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

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

“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
