Corey, I Never Knew I Had A Choice, pg 354

Unlike loneliness, solitude is something that we choose for ourselves. In solitude, we make time to be ourselves, to discover who we are, and to renew ourselves. In her beautiful poetic book Gift From the Sea, Lindbergh describes her own need to get away by herself to find her center, to simplify her life, and to nourish herself so that she could give to others again.
