Solitude is the salt of personhood. It brings out the authentic flavor of every experience.
May SartonI always forget how important the empty days are, how important it may be sometimes not to expect to produce anything, even a few lines in a journal. A day when one has not pushed oneself to the limit seems a damaged damaging day, a sinful day. Not so! The most valuable thing one can do for the psyche, occasionally, is to let it rest, wander, live in the changing light of a room.
May SartonI feel often very close to the ecstasy and anguish which lie at the very heart of poetry - I am writing a lot.
