What is necessary, after all, is only this: solitude, vast inner solitude. To walk inside yourself and meet no one for hours – that is what you must be able to attain.[Was not tut, ist doch nur dieses: Einsamkeit, große innere Einsamkeit. Insich-Gehen und stundenlang niemandem begegnen, – das muß man erreichen können.]
