"The being alone is better. That is what one has to learn ultimately. It really is better to be alone; it is horrible---but it is better.
                 
Worst of all, I am ashamed of being alone. Or is it my loneliness that I am ashamed of? I have closed the shutters so that no one can see. Me. Alone."

From Lorraine Hansberry's informal autobiography---To Be Young, Gifted and Black. Page 146.
