“I have only one friend, and that is echo. Why is it my friend? Because I love my sorrow, and echo does not take it away from me. I have only one confidant, and that is the silence of night. Why is it my confidant? Because it remains silent.”

“I will find new meaning in every joy and sorrow.”

“The worst cliques are those which consist of one man.”

“Without great solitude no serious work is possible.”

“My doom and my strength is to be solitary.”
