"In solitude there grows what anyone brings into it, the inner beast too. Therefore solitude is inadvisable to many."

Though I am not endowed with an ear to seize those earthly harmonies, which to some devout souls have seemed, as it were, the broken echoes of the heavenly choir--I apprehend that there is a law in music, disobedience whereunto would bring us in our singing to the level of shrieking maniacs or howling beasts.

— George Eliot
