Quote by Jonathan Harnisch

“In a world bustling with voices, the solitude of one's own company becomes a sanctuary. When everything around you craves your presence, the wisdom of being alone shines brightest. Embrace the quiet, for in it, you find the true essence of peace.”

“She day-dreams just as I do. She is addicted to her solitude just as I am. She loves watching the rain-drops fall slowly on to the green leaves of an old tree just as I do. She loves drifting in time and time travel just as I do. She loves looking at the waves dashing against the rocks just as I do.”

“I have always had a solitary disposition...I have always lived alone, as a result of a kind of uneasiness which comes over me when I am with other people...It's not that I refuse to see people, or to chat to them, or to have dinner with friends, but when I've been with them for some time, even with people I know best, I find that they weary me, tire me out, get on my nerves - and with a growing feeling of exasperation I long to see them go, or go away myself, so that I can be alone.”

“A magányban némán szemlélődőnek megfigyelései elmosódottabbak s mégis élesebbek, mint a társas emberéi, gondolatai súlyosabbak, különösebbek, és mindig van bennük leheletnyi bú. Képek, benyomások, amelyeket egy pillantással, nevetéssel, egy eszmecserével könnyedén el lehetne intézni, mértéken felül foglalkoztatják, elmélyülnek a hallgatásban, jelentőséget kapnak, élmény, kaland, érzés lesz belőlük. Magány termi az eredetiséget, a merészen, meghökkentően szépet, a költeményt. Ámde a magány termi a fonákot, az aránytalant, az abszurdot és a tilalmat is.”
