Three-year-old asked the nine-year-old what solitude is.
Nine said, “It’s like loneliness, except you like it.”

As a society we greatly underestimate and undervalue young people, who invariably are possessed of fresh ways of looking at things.

Reminds me of what Sherry Turkle said (perhaps quoting someone else): If you don't teach children how to be alone, all they will know is how to be lonely.
