Nowhere can man find a quieter or more untroubled retreat than in his own soul. One travels more usefully when alone, because he reflects more. The soul that sees beauty may sometimes walk alone. Solitude is fine but you need someone to tell that solitude is fine. I have discovered that all human evil comes from this: man's being unable to sit still and quiet in a room alone. An intellectual man in complete solitude has excellent entertainment in his own thoughts and fancies, while no amount of diversity or social pleasure, theaters, excursions and amusements, can ward off boredom from a dullard. If you are lonely when you're alone you are in a bad company. A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out. It is far better to be alone, than to be in bad company.
