It is easy in the world to live after the world's opinions; it is easy in solitude to live after your own; but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude.

» Rainer Maria Rilke (1875-1926) Austro-German poet

We never touch but at points.

» Rainer Maria Rilke (1875-1926) Austro-German poet

Solitude is dangerous to reason, without being favorable to virtue. Remember that the solitary mortal is certainly luxurious, probably superstitious, and possibly mad.

» Samuel Butler (1835-1902) Novelist, iconoclastic Victorian-era English author

In solitude we are in the presence of mere matter (even the sky, the stars, the moon, trees in blossom), things of less value (perhaps) than a human spirit. Its value lies in the greater possibility of attention.

» Simone de Beauvoir (1908-1986) French novelist and essayist

The best thinking has been done in solitude.

» Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919) 26th president of the United States

History shows that the majority of people that have done anything great have passed their youth in seclusion.

» Thomas B. Macaulay (1800-1859) British historian, whig politician, essayist and poet

Solitude gives birth to the original in us, to beauty unfamiliar and perilous- to poetry. But also, it gives birth to the opposite: to the perverse, the illicit, the absurd.

» Thomas Kempis (1379-1471) Christian theologian and probable author of The Im

Oh to have a lodge in some vast wilderness. Where rumors of oppression and deceit, of unsuccessful and successful wars may never reach me anymore.

» William Butler Yeats (1865-1939) Irish poet, and playwright [Nobel Prize in Literature in 1923]

Solitary trees, if they grow at all, grow strong.

» William Wordsworth (1770-1850) English Romantic poet ['Lyrical Ballads']

I used to think that the worst thing in life was to end up alone. It's not. The worst thing in life is to end up with people who make you feel alone.

» Robin Williams (1952-2014) American Comedian

Conversation enriches the understanding; but solitude is the school of genius.

» Rainer Maria Rilke (1875-1926) Austro-German poet

If you are idle, be not solitary; if you are solitary, be not idle.

» Samuel Butler (1835-1902) Novelist, iconoclastic Victorian-era English author

Life without a friend is death without a witness.

» Soren Kierkegaard (1813-1855) Danish philosopher and writer

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 Carlyle (1795-1881) British historian and essayist

When from our better selves we have too long been parted by the hurrying world, and droop. Sick of its business, of its pleasures tired, how gracious, how benign in solitude.

» William Shakespeare (1564-1616) British poet and playwright
