A good Quote

" Bearing your solitude more heavily than usual. But if then you notice that it is great, rejoice because of this; for what (ask yourself) would solitude be that had no greatness; there is but one solitude, and that is great, and not easy to bear, and almost everybody come hours of intercourse, however banal and cheap, for the semblance of what some slight accord with the first comer, with the unworthiest...But perhaps those are the very hours when solitude grows; for its growing is painful as the growing of boys and sad as the begining of springtimes. But that must not mislead you. The necessary thing is after all but this: solitude, great inner solitude." ~Ranier Rilke
