“A creation of importance can only be produced when its author isolates himself; it is a child of solitude.”

“Solitude is a time for "God and God alone." Who knows what can happpen when we focus only on God. In solitude, we sense our deep oneness with God and keep company with Him. Solitude is breaking through my isolation into sharing and being in touch with my Creator. In fact, we can begin to heal our loneliness by transforming it into solitude.”

“It is important to foster individuality, for only the individual can produce the new ideas.”

“But isn't it true that an author can write only about himself?”

“A man can be himself only so long as he is alone; and if he does not love solitude, he will not love freedom; for it is only when he is alone that he is really free.”

“It is only when a man feels himself face to face with such horrors that he can understand their true import.”
