"We learn about life by exploring the texture and depth of space that composes our private inner world. In solitude we revisit our wounded feelings, sins, doubts, and deepest despair, replay poignant memories of loved ones, project what we are becoming, and ascertain the purpose of our being."
"But how are you going to get out, into the world of other people? That is your problem now, if I may hazard a guess - to find the right relationship, now that you know yourself, between the self that you know and the world outside. It is a difficult problem. No living poet has, I think, altogether solved it."
"When alone, concentrate on the fruits of the solitude, not on the poisons of it!"
"A time of solitude will always produce some fruits."
"Solitude with God is a place for pregnancy."
"I would rather sit on a pumpkin and have it all to myself than to be crowded on a velvet cushion."

"The world is not comprehensible, but it is embraceable: through the embracing of one of its beings."
"I do, indeed, close my door at times and surrender myself to a book, but only because I can open the door again and see a human face looking at me."
