Solitude

  1. “The earth is a beehive ; we all enter by the same door but live in different cells .” [ AFRICAN PROVERB]


  2. “He who is unable to live in society, or who has no need because he is sufficient for himself, must be either a beast or god.” [ARISTOTLE, Politics (4th c B.C.]


  3. “Little do men perceive what solitude is, and how far it extended. For a crowd is not company, and faces but a gallery of pictures, and talk but a thinking cymbal, where there is no love.” [ FRANCIS BACON, “Of Friendship,” Essays (1625) ]


  4. “He never is alone that is accompanied with noble thoughts.” [BEAUMONT and FLETCHER, Loves Cure ” (1647)]


  5. “Perhaps even one’s feeling get tired, when is alone with oneself.” [ UGO BETTI, Goat Island (1946)]
