• Solitude is not lonliness
• Not being able to achieve solitude
frustates many creative people.
• In the state of solitude, the puzzling thing
becomes easier with clearer mind and space

21. THE QUEST FOR SILENCE
• Quest for silence is not really quest for
complete silence, but quest for removal of
certain kinds of noise.
• Complete silence is almost impossible, thus
omnipresent noise is helpful for
concentration.

22. EXERCISE, SPECIALLY WALKING
Examples from Creators:
• Psychologist Erik Erikson walked from his hometown,
Germany to Florence, Italy. He later said that he
didn’t or wouldn't trust any creative ideas that
hadn’t occurred while walking.
• Up until the 20th century, certain European males
went on walking, what was called the year of
wandering, whereby the young male would seek to
find them- selves.

23. • Wordsworth liked to walk on a straight gravel
sidewalk back and forth, and his sister, Dorothy taking
notes while Wordsworth spun out words and images.
