  1. A quotation from Robert Louis Stevenson

    Solitude is the climax of the negative virtues. When we go to bed after a solitary day we can tell ourselves that we have not been unkind nor dishonest nor untruthful; and the negative virtues are agreeable to that dangerous faculty we call the conscience. That they should ever be admitted for a part of virtue is what I cannot explain. I do not care two straws for all the nots.

    Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894) Scottish essayist, novelist, poet
    Essay (1880-01/02?), “Reflections and Remarks on Human Life,” § 4.6 “Solitude and Society”

  10. This is a rough time of the year for some us when we are told that there is only one song worth singing, but you gotta make your own kind of music.

    Doing your thing may be the hardest thing to do, but you gotta sing your own special song even if nobody else sings along.

    You may find that more people than you thought will be there to sing your own special song with you.
