“My own study of the networked life has left me thinking about intimacy - about being with people in person, hearing their voices and seeing their faces, trying to know their hearts. And it has left me thinking about solitude-the kind that refreshes and restores. Loneliness is failed solitude. To experience solitude you must be able to summon yourself by yourself; otherwise you will only know how to be lonely”

“Mes compagnes, mes "accompagnatrices", ne sont jamais restées longtemps: très vite elles s'en allaient, dès qu'elles comprenaient que ce qu'elles avaient d'abord pris chez moi pour du détachement était du vide; or les femmes savent que le vide engendre le vide, alors elles me quittaient, avec douceur, sans oser me dire quoi que ce soit: car que peut-on dire à un naufragé?”

“We throw our parties; we abandon our families to live alone in Canada; we struggle to write books that do not change the world, despite our gifts and our unstinting efforts, our most extravagant hopes. We live our lives, do whatever we do, and then we sleep. It's as simple and ordinary as that. A few jump out windows, or drown themselves, or take pills; more die by accident; and most of us are slowly devoured by some disease, or, if we're very fortunate, by time itself. There's just this for consolation: an hour here or there when our lives seem, against all odds and expectations, to burst open and give us everything we've ever imagined, though everyone but children (and perhaps even they) know these hours will inevitably be followed by others, far darker and more difficult.
