![“I never found the companion that was so companionable as solitude. [It allows you to] be the Mungo Park, the Lewis and Clark of your own streams and oceans; [to] explore your own higher latitudes; [to] be a Columbus to whole new continents and worlds within you, opening new channels, not of trade…” quote by Henry David Thoreau](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/2c6/henry-david-thoreau-20_columbus_i-never-found-the-companion-that-was-so_804450.jpg)
