Quote by Henry David Thoreau

I love to be alone. I never found the companion that was so companionable as solitude.

I love to be alone. I never found the companion that was so

Summary

They express a profound appreciation for being alone and suggest that they have not encountered any companion who offers the same level of satisfaction and companionship as solitude does. It implies that the speaker finds solace, comfort, and fulfillment in their own company, suggesting a deep introspective nature or a tendency to find peace in solitude. They value the quiet and personal connection they experience when left to their thoughts and find it incomparable to any social interactions they have encountered.

In my prints I try to show that we live in a beautiful and orderly world and not in a chaos without norms, as we sometimes seem to. My subjects are also often playful. I cannot help mocking all our unwavering certainties. It is, for example, great fun deliberately to confuse two and three dimensions, the plane and space, or to poke fun at gravity. Are you sure that a floor cannot also be a ceiling? Are you absolutely certain that you go up when you walk up a staircase? Can you be definite that it is impossible to eat your cake and have it?Variant translation: I can't keep from fooling around with our irrefutable certainties. It is, for example, a pleasure knowingly to mix up two and three dimensionalities, flat and spatial, and to make fun of gravity.
