Douglas Kennedy Quotes

Solitude sometimes is best society.

I have lately got back to that glorious society called Solitude.

Sometimes I go for days without speaking to a soul. I think, “I should make that call", but I put it off. Because there’s something pleasurable about not talking. But then I love talking, so it’s not that. But sometimes it can be nice. It’s not like I sit here philosophizing, because I’ve no talent for that. It’s just this thing about silence that’s so wonderful.

Better, Cilla thought, to be alone on a quiet night than to be alone in a crowd. Much better.

Silence is best.

I love my friends and family, but I also love it when they can't find me and I can spend all day reading or walking all alone, in silence, eight thousand miles away from everyone. All alone and unreachable in a foreign country is one my most favorite possible things to be.

I really love peace and quiet.
