"In today's age, it has become intolerable to 'withdraw ourselves,' or else this withdrawal must be announced, scheduled, and registered. The secret garden is identified by a sign, which means that it is no longer secret. Gentleness is in this withdrawal, which is accompanied by its secondary virtues: tact, subtlety, reserve, discretion. To not show ourselves, to set ourselves aside, and to guard ourselves are crowned by the last mystery that allows thinking, a certain suspension of identity."

- Anne Dufourmantelle, from Power of Gentleness: Meditations on the Risk of Living, 2018.

How much better is silence; the coffee cup, the table. How much better to sit by myself like the solitary sea-bird that opens its wings on the stake. Let me sit here for ever with bare things, this coffee cup, this knife, this fork, things in themselves, myself being myself.

Virginia Woolf, from the waves, 1931

"The beauty of moon is nothing without the sun,

that it showers light ,hiding under the cover.

Yet,we hate how sun blazes our skin and loves moon giving us tranquil."

But I have sometimes thought that a woman's nature is like a great house full of rooms: there is the hall, through which everyone passes in going in and out; the drawing-room, where one receives formal visits; the sitting-room, where the members of the family come and go as they list; but beyond that, far beyond, are other rooms, the handles of whose doors perhaps are never turned; no one knows the way to them, no one knows whither they lead; and in the innermost room, the holy of holies, the soul sits alone and waits for a footstep that never comes.

- Edith Wharton, The Ghost Stories of Edith Wharton

Quote

It's going to be okay, this solitude, this lovelessness, this schoollessness, this unstructure, this floating, this sinking. It's going to suit me. I'm going to mire in it until I'm cooked.

“Around people

if I feel I’m gonna die

I excuse myself

telling them “I gotta go!”

“Go where?” they wanna know

I don’t answer

I just get outa there

away from them

because somehow

they sense something wrong

and never know what to do

it scares them such suddenness

How awful

to just sit there

and they asking:

“Are you okay?”

“Can we get you something?”

“Want to lie down?”

Ye gods! people!

who wants to die amongst people?!

Especially when they can’t do shit

To the movies — to the movies

that’s where I hurry to

when I feel I’m going to die

So far it’s worked.”

Gregory Corso typing a poem at The Rare Book Room in New York 1989. Photo by Dario Bellini

A man can be himself only so long as he is alone; and if he does not love solitude, he will not love freedom; for it is only when he is alone that he is really free.

Arthur Schopenhauer, Essays and Aphorisms, 1851
