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

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

diamonds. Discard them and their value will never be known. Improve them
and they will become the brightest gems in a useful life. Ralph Waldo

world to live after the world’s opinion; it is easy in solitude to live
after our own. Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is much better to walk alone, in the right direction, than to follow the herd, walking in the wrong direction. Lone Wolf Quotes

creature, fitted for a higher society. Henry David Thoreau
