Embrace your solitude and love it. Endure the pain it causes, and try to sing out with it. For those near to you are distant.

The highest form of love is to be the protector of another person’s solitude.

Go into yourself and see how deep the place is from which your life flows.

Antagonistic cooperation is the principle of all markets and many marriages.
