“Innovators and creators are persons who can to a higher degree than average accept the condition of aloneness. They are more willing to follow their own vision, even when it takes them far from the mainland of the human community. Unexplored places do not frighten them- or not, at any rate, as much as they frighten those around them. This is one of the secrets of their power. That which we call genius has a great deal to do with courage and daring, a great deal to do with nerve.” HumansPersonsCommunityDealsSecretAcceptingVisionConditionsWillingGeniusHigherDegreesRateAverageCreatorNervesDaringInnovatorsUnexplored Author:Nathaniel Branden

It is quite naive to assume that popularity is the remedy for loneliness. Loneliness does not necessarily equal physical solitude, it is the inability to be oneself and rightfully represented as oneself.” WantBelieveHumansPersonsDoeStillsFeelingsHuman BeingsLonelinessSolitudeEqualLonelyAssumingAverageOneselfRemedyPopularityNaiveInabilityAverage PersonFeeling Lonely Book:Killosophy Source: Killosophy
