There have been times and people with whom the pleasure of their company has outweighed the tranquillity of solitude in my life. These times have been infrequent, and those people very special and dear to me.

The tranquillity of solitude and the suffering of loneliness wrestle for control of the human mind and actions; never let one vanquish the other for aught, or you will be left only half a person.
