Oh, there’s Kyoshi, taking in the flowers. There she goes now, pondering the new calligraphy from the Air Temple.

“The daydreamer is like the tree in which she crouches, oblivious to the red-faced plans of industry. It’s understood that if someone were to come along and put her mind “to use,” she would gain little from the interruption.”
Michael Harris, Solitude: In Pursuit of a Singular Life in a Crowded World

Michael  Harris
“As the twenty-first century lurches forward, though, we find that love letters—so awkward, so slow, so exhausting to compose—are an endangered species. We forget that romantic connections benefit from solitude nearly as much as the beloved’s company.”
Michael Harris, Solitude: In Pursuit of a Singular Life in a Crowded World

Michael  Harris
“Perhaps future generations will hack the system, move at will between storytelling technologies. As for me, I was retreating from the social option. I began taking myself to the water’s edge in order to read—away from the phone and the terrible Cyclops eye of my modem. On the seawall, bundled against wind and propped up with a sweater for a seat, I rediscovered a frame of mind that I was in danger of forgetting—real, trance-like reading that obliterated my anxieties, my fussing daily life.”
Michael Harris, Solitude: In Pursuit of a Singular Life in a Crowded World

“Switching our allegiance from one Big Brother to the next cannot purchase independent thought.”
Michael Harris, Solitude: In Pursuit of a Singular Life in a Crowded World

“nervous hive mentality; it reminds us the self is no monster after all.”
Michael Harris, Solitude: In Pursuit of a Singular Life in a Crowded World
