The Last Wilderness, A Journey into Silence Quotes

“The great gift of solitude is that although you might think that it provokes introspection, actually the very opposite is true - you can lose all sense of self.”
― Neil Ansell, The Last Wilderness, A Journey into Silence

“Most people's biographies would contain the history of their relationship with others, and that periods of solitude would be intermissions, gaps of no account in the story of their lives. I feel my own story is that of all the times I have spent alone. Time with others if an interruption to the essence of who I am, that story of a man alone, a tale of solitude.”
― Neil Ansell, The Last Wilderness, A Journey into Silence
