I hold this to be the highest task of a bond between two people: that each should stand guard over the solitude of the other. For, if it lies in the nature of indifference and of the crowd to recognise no solitude, then love and friendship are there for the purpose of continually providing the opportunity for solitude. And only those are the true sharings which rhythmically interrupt periods of deep isolation....

Rainier Maria Rilke

Now all that remains is to continue on my search for those who believe that this is so.

That's why I prefer talking to myself. Sometimes it's the only decent conversation I can get...

I like it almost as much as that girl's bottom...
