Solitude
Bored Solitude ~ Jack Kerouac

Helen Hayes Quote
We live in a very tense society. We are pulled apart… and we all need to learn how to pull ourselves together…. I think that at least part of the answer lies in solitude.

Jack Kerouac
I came to a point where
I needed solitude and
just stop the machine
of thinking and enjoying
what they call living,
I just wanted to lie in
the grass and look at
the clouds.
Jack Kerouac
