Albert Einstein
“I live in that solitude which is painful in youth, but delicious in the years of maturity.”
Albert Einstein

Virginia Woolf
“For now she need not think of anybody. She could be herself, by herself. And that was what now she often felt the need of - to think; well not even to think. To be silent; to be alone. All the being and the doing, expansive, glittering, vocal, evaporated; and one shrunk, with a sense of solemnity, to being oneself, a wedge-shaped core of darkness, something invisible to others... and this self having shed its attachments was free for the strangest adventures.”
Virginia Woolf, To the Lighthouse

George MacDonald
“Certainly work is not always required of a man. There is such a thing as a sacred idleness, the cultivation of which is now fearfully neglected.”
George Mac Donald, Wilfrid Cumbermede

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

Henrik Ibsen
“What is the difference in being alone with another and being alone by one's self?”
Henrik Ibsen
