About This Quote

When you’re alone, uninfluenced by others, you’re less likely to be influenced by the opinions of others. When you’re alone, uninfluenced, you can more easily come upon something totally new. Alone time is what allows people to come up with their own solution to a problem or to think of their own ideas.
