"Do not be afraid of spending quality time by yourself. Find meaning or donâ€™t find meaning but â€œstealâ€ some time and give it freely and exclusively to your own self. Opt for privacy and solitude. That doesnâ€™t make you antisocial or cause you to reject the rest of the world. But you need to breathe. And you need to be."

-- Albert Camus
