Undisturbed

“You want to be almost alone with just a few friends. You want to be undisturbed.

You want to be free to think, not for an hour at a time or three hours at a time, but for two days or two weeks if possible… without interruption.

You don’t want to drive the family car or go to parties.

You wish people would just go away and leave you alone while you get something straight.

Then you get straight and you embody it.

Then it is done, and suddenly you are alone and you have to go back to your friends and the world around you and to all history to be refreshed, to feel alive and human once again.”

— Edwin Land
