“You need to be able to gather yourself to yourself and have a capacity for solitude before you can turn to someone else and really hear what they have to say.  If not, you turn to someone else and you’re projecting onto them who you need them to be for you and you can’t hear who they really are.” Sherry Turkle (Solitude: Are Our Smartphones Trapping Us in Anti-Social Bubbles)

“It has been said that it’s the space between the bars that holds the tiger.  And it’s the silence between the notes that makes the music.  It is out of the silence, or ‘the gap’ or that space between our thoughts, that everything is created, including our own bliss.” Dr. Wayne Dyer (Getting in the Gap)

“In solitude, there is healing.  Speak to your soul.  Listen to your heart.  Sometimes in the absence of noise we find the answers.” Dodinsky (Gentle Reminders)
