there is art in solitude.

you don’t believe me? read. =)


-
“When I am, as it were, completely myself, entirely alone, and of good cheer - say, traveling in a carriage or walking after a good meal or during the night when I cannot sleep - it is on such occasions that my ideas flow best and most abundantly.”  (-Mozart)


-
“The mind is sharper and keener in seclusion and uninterrupted solitude.  Originality thrives in seclusion free of outside influences beating upon us to cripple the creative mind.  Be alone - that is the secret of invention: be alone, that is when ideas are born.”  (-Nikola Tesla)


-
“Without great solitude no serious work is possible.”  (-Pablo Picasso)


-
“Solitude gives birth to the original in us, to beauty unfamiliar and perilous - to poetry.” (-Thomas Mann)


-
“In order to be open to creativity, one must have the capacity for constructive use of solitude.  One must overcome the fear of being alone.” (-Rollo May)
