Having almost negotiated hump day I present these quotes to take into the weekend... “Let me tell you this: if you meet a loner, no matter what they tell you, its not because they enjoy solitude. Its because they have tried to blend into the world before, and people continue to disappoint them.” ― Jodi Picoult, My Sisters Keeper (I think there is some truth in this by Jodi...) “If youre lonely when youre alone, youre in bad company.” ― Jean-Paul Sartre “Who hears music, feels his solitude Peopled at once.” ― Robert Browning, The complete poetical works of Browning “I need to be alone. I need to ponder my shame and my despair in seclusion; I need the sunshine and the paving stones of the streets without companions, without conversation, face to face with myself, with only the music of my heart for company.” ― Henry Miller, Tropic of Cancer “We must become so alone, so utterly alone, that we withdraw into our innermost self. It is a way of bitter suffering. But then our solitude is overcome, we are no longer alone, for we find that our innermost self is the spirit, that it is God, the indivisible. And suddenly we find ourselves in the midst of the world, yet undisturbed by its multiplicity, for our innermost soul we know ourselves to be one with all being.” ― Hermann Hesse “In spite of language, in spite of intelligence and intuition and sympathy, one can never really communicate anything to anybody. The essential substance of every thought and feeling remains incommunicable, locked up in the impenetrable strong-room of the individual soul and body. Our life is a sentence of perpetual solitary confinement.” ― Aldous Huxley
