It isn't the oceans which cut
us off from the world --
it's the American way of
looking at things.
?Henry Miller
The one happiness is to shut one's
door upon a little room, with a table
before one, and to create; to create
life in that isolation from life.
?Eleonora Duse
At the moment of childbirth, every woman
has the same aura of isolation,
as though she were abandoned, alone.
?Boris Pasternak
