I am alone again and I want to be so; alone with the pure sky and open sea.

What do you plan to do in the land of the sleepers? You have been floating in a sea of solitude, and the sea has borne you up. At long last, are you ready for dry land? Are you ready to drag yourself ashore?

One must learn to love oneself with a wholesome and healthy love, so that one can bear to be with oneself and need not roam.

On stage, I make love to 25,000 different people, then I go home alone.

Although I am a gregarious person, I love solitude even more.

Solitude makes us tougher towards ourselves and tenderer towards others. In both ways it improves our character.
