Solitude vivifies; isolation kills.

Summary

This quote suggests that being alone can be rejuvenating and invigorating, whereas seclusion and total isolation can have negative effects on a person's well-being. Solitude, characterized by voluntary and temporary withdrawal from others, allows one to reflect, recharge, and rediscover themselves. It can be a source of inspiration and growth. Conversely, isolation implies enforced loneliness or prolonged separation, leading to feelings of alienation and emotional decline. The quote emphasizes the importance of balance, reminding us that taking time for ourselves can be uplifting, but excessive isolation can be detrimental to our overall health and happiness.

It seemed queer, in the barber's shop, to see the Anarchist notice still on the wall, explaining that tips were prohibited. The Revolution has struck off our chains, the notice said. I felt like telling the barbers that their chains would soon be back again if they didn't look out.
