ignorance to prevail upon us and make us think we can
survive alone, alone in patches, alone in groups, alone in
races, even alone in genders.

It isn't the
oceans which cut us off from the world -- it's the American
way of looking at things.
-- Henry Miller

Not only does
democracy make every man forget his ancestors, but also
clouds their view of their descendants and isolates them
from their contemporaries. Each man is for ever thrown back
on himself alone, and there is danger that he may be shut up
in the solitude of his own heart.
-- Alexis De Tocqueville
1805-1859, French Social
Philosopher
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.

We're all of
us sentenced to solitary confinement inside our own skins,
for life!
