“People give me looks of pity and ask me why I want to wallow in my disconnection from a very connected world. It is simple. The world seems way too connected to me now. It seems to be ruining the lives of teenagers and bringing out the bestial cruelty in those who can hide their vileness under the mask of some idiotic pseudonym. I like to sit alone and think about things. Solitude is as precious as coin silver and it takes labor to attain it.”

“Peter je zo svojho každodenného života zvyknutý dosť času tráviť sám, a tak mu to vyhovuje. Raz za čas sa skrátka potrebuje zamyslieť a zasnívať. Ak tú možnosť dlhodobo nemá, čo sa mu stane prvý raz práve tu v letnom tábore, začnú sa ho zmocňovať chmúrne myšlienky a úzkosť. Potrebuje samotu, aby unikol osamelosti. Osamelosť totiž nevzniká tým, že by človek nemal okolo seba ľudí, ale tým, že s nimi nemôže zdieľať veci, ktoré ho bavia a ktoré sa mu javia ako dôležité. A naopak, keď on považuje za nezmyselné veci, ktoré pre ostatných hrajú zásadnú úlohu. V takom prípade je potom už lepšia naozajstná, fyzická samota, keď si môže človek tráviť čas celkom po svojom.”

“You can not die of grief, though it feels as if you can. A heart does not actually break, though sometimes your chest aches as if it is breaking. Grief dims with time. It is the way of things. There comes a day when you smile again, and you feel like a traitor. How dare I feel happy. How dare I be glad in a world where my father is no more. And then you cry fresh tears, because you do not miss him as much as you once did, and giving up your grief is another kind of death.”

“A person can transfigure the disquiet of solitude in a positive or negative manner. Periods of enforced solitude can cause a person to develop eccentricities of conduct and character, parley with a number of mental aberrations, partake in self-destructive diversions, or use their time productively to contemplate worldly issues and diligently work on self-improvement.”
