Blind Spots – Isolation & Remote Work – Positive Inspirations

Some of the world’s most gifted people have left us simple yet powerful statements on isolation. These inspirations can be applied to our current situation as we manage Covid19!

We're born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment that we're not alone.

I live in that solitude, which is painful in youth, but delicious in the years of maturity.

Albert Einstein

Without great solitude no serious work is possible.

Pablo Picasso

I never found the companion that was so companionable as solitude. We are for the most part more lonely when we go abroad among men than when we stay in our chambers.

Henry David Thoreau

Although I am a typical loner in my daily life, my awareness of belonging to the invisible community of those who strive for truth, beauty, and justice has prevented me from feelings of isolation.

Albert Einstein

When I first open my eyes upon the morning meadows and look out upon the beautiful world, I thank God I am alive.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

True silence is the rest of the mind and is to the spirit what sleep is to the body, nourishment and refreshment.

William Penn

You only grow when you are alone.

Paul Newman

National isolation breeds national neurosis.

Hubert Humphrey
