Solitude is painful when one is young, but delightful when one is more mature.
I like solitude. I'm very good at being disconnected. I do a lot of disappearing. People who know me go, 'Oh yeah, Mailman, she's gone into her cave again.' I'm like that, a bit of a hibernating bear. Like that crocodile that just sits there in the water and doesn't do much. I was always a bit of a dreamer as a kid, so that hasn't changed.
Solitude shows us what should be; society shows us what we are.
Solitude is a breeding ground for idiosyncrasy, and I relish that about it, the way it liberates whim.

Solitude, though it may be silent as light, is like light, the mightiest of agencies; for solitude is essential to man. All men come into this world alone and leave it alone.
When you acknowledge the integrity of your solitude, and settle into its mystery, your relationships with others take on a new warmth, adventure and wonder.
Solitude is the profoundest fact of the human condition. Man is the only being who knows he is alone.
