It is never my custom to use words lightly. If twenty-seven years in prison have done anything to us, it was to use the silence of solitude to make us understand how precious words are and how real speech is in its impact on the way people live and die.

I exist in the depths of solitude pondering my true goal. Trying to find peace of mind and still preserve my soul.

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

Debates conceal rather than reveal the truth. Truth is revealed in solitude.

I like solitude. I like the anomalous life. I like a quiet life.

To do much clear thinking a person must arrange for regular periods of solitude when they can concentrate and indulge the imagination without distraction.
