“I am no bird and no net ensnares me. I am a free human being with an independent will within my family.”

“It's okay to go alone. Just don't stop.”

“There is a pleasure in the pathless woods, there is a rapture on the lonely shore.”

“I care for myself. The more solitary, the more friendless, the more unsustained I am, the more I will respect myself.”

“Friendship needs no words it is solitude delivered from the anguish of loneliness”
