Nature does nothing uselessly.
-Aristotle
No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path.
One who is able to withdraw his senses from sense objects, as the tortoise draws his limbs within the shell, is to be understood as truly situated in knowledge.
I love to be alone. I never found the companion that was so companionable as solitude.
-Henry David Thoreau
