For those who are not frightened by the solitude, everything will have a different taste. In solitude, they will discover the love that might otherwise arrive unnoticed. In solitude, they will understand and respect the love that left them. In solitude, they will be able to decide whether it is worth asking that lost love to come back or if they should simply let it go and set off along a new path. In solitude, they will learn that saying ‘No’ does not always show a lack of generosity and that saying ‘Yes’ is not always a virtue. And those who are alone at this moment, need never be frightened by the words of the devil: ‘You’re wasting your time.’ Or by the chief demon’s even more potent words: ‘No one cares about you.’ The Divine Energy is listening to us when we speak to other people, but also when we are still and silent and able to accept solitude as a blessing. And when we achieve that harmony, we receive more than we asked for. . Paulo Coelho
About This Quote

When we consider what we can gain from solitude, we should think of all that we lose in the process. Solitude means not having others to help us make decisions and take action in our lives. It means not having people to answer our questions and take care of our problems when we are in need. It means no one to take us out for dinner or cheer us up when we feel down. It means no one to sit with at a ball game or watch a movie with.
