Your sacred space is where you can find yourself again and again.
Joseph Campbell
There are days when solitude is a heady wine that intoxicates you with freedom, others when it is a bitter tonic, and still others when it is a prison that makes you beat your head against the wall.
Colette
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.
Thomas de Quincy
. . . those who know the value and the exquisite taste of solitary freedom (for one is only free when one is alone) . . .
Isabelle Eberhardt
There are voices which we hear in solitude, but they grow faint and inaudible as we enter into the world.
Emerson
I will take time to be alone today. I will take time to be quiet. In their silence I will listen. . . and I will hear my answers.
Ruth Fisher
Solitude is a silent storm that breaks off all our dead branches, yet it sends our living roots deeper into the living heart of the living earth.
Kahlil Gibran
Serenity comes not alone by removing outward causes and occasions of fear, but by the discovery of inward reservoirs to draw upon.
Rufus M. Jones
A quiet mind is the best cure for a low mood.
Jane Nelson
The need for temporary solitude is so intense it amounts to an impediment, a malady, chronic and incurable like recurring malaria. . . Like a remmittent fever it is nothing yuou can banish. Outwardly we look okay, but inwardly, we are desparate; gasping and frantic for something as integral to ourselves as the colour of our eyes.
Murabel Osler
There is a solitude which each and every one of us has always carried within. More inacessable than the ice cold mountains, more profound than the midnight sea: the solitude of self.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton
Men cannot long survive without air, water, and sleep. Next in importance comes food. And close on its heels, solitude.
Thomas Szasz
The inner voice - the human compulsion when deeply distressed to seek healing and counsel within ourselves both to create this counsel and to recieve it.
Alice Walker
Solitude is my tiome to talk to myself. without it I get dull like a bird without a song.
Abby Warman
Choose silence of all virtues, for by it you hear other men's imperfections, and conceal your own.
Zeno of Cetruin
