Self-discovery is above all the realization that we are alone: it is the opening of an impalpable, transparent wall - that of our consciousness - between the world and ourselves.
~ Octavio Paz
No one is alone, and each change here brings about another change there.
Solitude is the profoundest fact of the human condition. Man is the only being who knows he is alone.
Writers, you know, are the beggars of Western society.
