Abraham Joshua Heschel
Solitude is a necessary protest to the incursions and the false alarms of society's hysteria, a period of cure and recovery.
|
Agnes Macphail
Do not rely completely on any other human being, however dear. We meet all life's greatest tests alone.
|
Albert Einstein
I live in that solitude which is painful in youth, but delicious in the years of maturity.
|
Alice H. Rice
Solitude, if rightly used, becomes not only a privilege but a necessity. Only a superficial soul fears to fraternize with itself.
|
Alice Koller
Being solitary is being alone well: being alone luxuriously immersed in doings of your own choice, aware of the fullness of your won presence rather than of the absence of others. Because solitude is an achievement.
|
Amelia Barr
...solitude is such a potential thing. We hear voices in solitude, we never hear in the hurry and turmoil of life; we receive counsels and comforts, we get under no other condition...
|
Anne Morrow Lindbergh Gift from the Sea
Only when one is connected to one's own core is one connected to others I am beginning to discover. And, for me, the core, the inner spring, can best be refound through solitude.
|
Barbara De Angelis
Women need real moments of solitude and self-reflection to balance out how much of ourselves we give away.
|
Bishop Fulton J. Sheen
Leisure is a form of silence, not noiselessness. It is the silence of contemplation such as occurs when we let our minds rest on a rosebud, a child at play, a Divine mystery, or a waterfall.
|
Brenda Ueland
I learned...that inspiration does not come like a bolt, nor is it kinetic, energetic striving, but it comes into us slowly and quietly and all the time, though we must regularly and every day give it a little chance to start flowing, prime it with a little solitude and idleness.
|
Colette
There are days when solitude is a heady wine that intoxicates you with freedom, others when it is a bitter tonic, and still others when it is a poison that makes you beat your head against the wall.
|
Eda LeShan
When we cannot bear to be alone, it means we do not properly value the only companion we will have from birth to death - ourselves.
|
Eda LeShan
When we cannot bear to be alone, it means we do not properly value the only companion we will have from birth to death--ourselves.
|
Elizabeth Cady Stanton
There is a solitude which each and every one of us has always carried within. More inaccessible than the ice cold mountains, more profound than the midnight sea: the solitude of self.
|
Ellen Burstyn
What a lovely surprise to discover how unlonely being alone can be.
|
Eric Hoffer
With some people solitariness is an escape not from others but from themselves. For they see in the eyes of others only a reflection of themselves.
|
Franz Kafka
It is not necessary that you leave the house. Remain at your table and listen. Do not even listen, only wait. Do not even wait, be wholly still and alone. The world will present itself to you for its unmasking . . . in ecstasy it will writhe at your feet.
