Solitude Is Pleasant. Loneliness Is Not.

What, I Sometimes Wonder, Would It Be Like If I Lived In A Country Where Winter Is A Matter Of A Few Chilly Days And A Few Weeks' Rain; Where The Sun Is Never Far Away, And The Flowers Bloom All Year Long?

So It Is Necessary That We Should Learn To Be Alone.

Naturally Enough When I Was A Young Dancer, I Was Terribly Anxious To Get Ahead, And To Get Ahead Quickly. I Was Impatient With All Those Older People Who Talked Of The Long Grind To The Top, Who Turned Me Down For Jobs I Knew I Could Do.

If We Fix A Goal And Work Towards It, Then We Are Never Just Passing Time.

But The Important Thing About Learning To Wait, I Feel Sure, Is To Know What You Are Waiting For.
