Loneliness is the poverty of self; solitude is the richness of self.
In the suburbs, we live in nature... And you do see deer, rabbits, crows. But we don't live in nature. That's the point of the suburbs. You live apart from humans. And you're protected from what's wild.
Being alone and being lonely are two different things. Sometimes we're lonely, and we don't even know it.
When everything has left you, you are alone; when you have left everything behind, there is solitude.
