"But I pine in Solitude. Solitude is..." - Quote by Virginia Woolf

“But I don't think of the future, or the past, I feast on the moment. This is the secret of happiness, but only reached now in middle age.”

“Mr. Beerbohm in his way is perfect ... He has brought personality into literature, not unconsciously and impurely, but so consciously and purely that we do not know whether there is any relation between Max the essayist and Mr. Beerbohm the man. We only know that the spirit of personality permeates every word that he writes ... He is without doubt the prince of his profession.”

“Humor is the first of the gifts to perish in a foreign tongue.”

“There is a solitude in poverty, but a solitude which restores to each thing its value.”

“I am sure of this, that by going much alone a man will get more of a noble courage in thought and word than from all the wisdom that is in books.”

“Whoever gives himself up to solitude, Ah! he is soon alone.”

“He felt as though he were wandering in the forests of the sea bottom, lost in a monstrous world where he himself was the monster. He was alone. The past was dead, the future was unimaginable”

“Each person was himself one alone. One oneness, a unit in a society, but always afraid, always alone. If I should scream, if I should call for help, would anyone hear would it even matter?”

“Man has no choice but to love. For when he does not, he finds his alternatives lie in loneliness, destruction and despair.”
