Lately I’ve been thinking about who I want to love, and how I want to love, and why I want to love the way I want to love, and what I need to learn to love that way, and how I need to become to become the kind of love I want to be. And when I break it all down, when I whittle it into a single breath, it essentially comes out like this: before I die, I want to be somebody’s favorite hiding place, the place they can put everything they need to survive, every secret, every solitude, every nervous prayer, and be absolutely certain I will keep it safe. I will keep it safe (Solitude Quotes)

Not everyone knows how to be alone with others, how to share solitude. We have to help each other to understand how to be in our solitude, so that we can relate to each other without grabbing on to each other. We can be interdependent but not dependent. Loneliness is rejected despondency. Solitude is shared interdependence (Solitude Quotes)

For the inner process is beginning to unfold, stillness is extraordinarily important (Solitude Quotes)
Prayer is an end to isolation. It is living our daily life with someone; with him who alone can deliver us from solitude (Solitude Quotes)
I know I have within myself... a side of solitude. I think people who know me can see, but people who just meet me can’t because I’m generally very fun and gregarious.

I always felt that that was his kind of form of escape, in a way (Solitude Quotes)

The problem is no longer getting people to express themselves, but providing little gaps of solitude and silence in which they might eventually find something to say. Repressive forces don’t stop people from expressing themselves, but rather, force them to express themselves. What a relief to have nothing to say, the right to say nothing, because only then is there a chance of framing the rare, or ever rarer, the thing that might be worth saying (Solitude Quotes)
