“I never found a companion that was so companionable as solitude.” - Henry David Thoreau
High school seniors were allowed a caption of a few words beneath their photo in the yearbook, and the quote above is what I chose (looking through Google now shows me I may have misquoted with the indefinite article, and there is a palpable, if not also material, difference). I'm not sure I believed it then, but I'm virtually certain I don't completely believe it now.
