No man should go through life without once experiencing healthy, even bored solitude in the wilderness, finding himself depending solely on himself and thereby learning his true and hidden strength. Learning for instance, to eat when he’s hungry and sleep when he’s sleepy.

I came to apoint where I needed solitude and just stop the machine of ´thinking’ and ‘enjoying’ what they call ‘living’, I just wanted to lie in the grass and look at the clouds.

Meaning: The saying emphasizes rest, contemplation, disconnection, and letting go of the automatic “social” urge to live (“thinking,” “enjoying,” “living” as “it should be”) in order to simply be present. It’s a plea for simplicity and inner space. Source: Lonesome Traveler (2007) — a collection of travel stories by Jack Kerouac.
