A man can be himself only so long as he is alone; and if he does not love solitude, he will not love freedom; for it is only when he is alone that he is really free. - Arthur Schopenhauer (Counsels and Maxims Quotes)

A man can be himself only so long as he is alone; and if he does not love solitude, he will not love freedom; for it is only when he is alone that he is really free.[Ganz er selbst sein darf jeder nur so lange er allein ist: wer also nicht die Einsamkeit liebt, der liebt auch nicht die Freiheit: denn nur wann man allein ist, ist man frei.]
