The devil has made it his business to monopolize on three elements: noise, hurry, crowds. He will not allow quietness.

I like it where it gets dark at night, and if you want noise, you have to make it yourself.

There is nothing more harrowing than a deadly hush with the feel of a great noise around it

In order to be open to creativity, one must have the capacity for constructive use of solitude. One must overcome the fear of being alone.

It's nice and quiet. That's the way I like it. I don't like a lot of noise.

Cultivate solitude and quiet and a few sincere friends, rather than mob merriment, noise and thousands of nodding acquaintances
