“A lonely, quiet person has observations and experiences that are at once both more indistinct and more penetrating than those of one more gregarious; his thoughts are weightier, stranger, and never without a tinge of sadness. . . . Loneliness fosters that which is original, daringly and bewilderingly beautiful, poetic. But loneliness also fosters that which is perverse, incongruous, absurd, forbidden.” PersonsBeautifulSadnessLonelinessQuietLonelyOriginalsStrangerAbsurdObservationPoeticForbiddenGregariousQuiet Person Author:Thomas Mann
“But the moon came slowly up in all her gentle glory, and the stars looked out, and through the small compass of the grated window, as through the narrow crevice of one good deed in a murky life of guilt, the face of Heaven shone bright and merciful. He raised his head; gazed upward at the quiet sky, which seemed to smile upon the earth in sadness, as if the night, more thoughtful than the day, looked down in sorrow on the sufferings and evil deeds of men; and felt its peace sink deep into his heart.” IfsMenHeartEarthFacesNightSufferingEvilHeavenStarsFeltNatureSadnessSkySorrowQuietMoonGloryWindowGuiltRaisedDeedsGentleThoughtfulGood DeedsCompassMercifulCrevice Book:Barnaby Rudge, And, Hard Times: With Ten Illustrations Source: Barnaby Rudge, And, Hard Times: With Ten Illustrations

“The anterior cingulate fires up as the end result of a series of events. First, estrogen levels fall. Meanwhile, serotonin, the feel-good neurotransmitter, also decreases. The deficiency in serotonin causes the anterior cingulate gyrus to fire up. To make things worse, just about this time the PFC tends to quiet down, which is why women may have a hard time focusing and controlling impulses.
