For this post, I’ve curated a selection of quotes and visuals that explore the theme of "Alone But Not Lonely."

“To make the right choices in life, you have to get in touch with your soul. To do this, you need to experience solitude, which most people are afraid of, because in the silence you hear the truth and know the solutions.”

— Deepak Chopra —

New Age guru, author

“Solitude is the best nurse of wisdom.”

— Laurence Sterne —

writer, humorist
