Solitude is Independence...

Frankfurt

"A person can be himself only so long as he is alone;
... if he does not love solitude, he will not love freedom;
for it is only when he is alone that he is really free."

[Schopenhauer, "The World as Will and Idea," 1818]

The quote wasn't here when I first came by....as per usual, such a perceptive thought by Schopenhauer...

Wow, great shot...works on a number of levels! A terrific graphic image of lines and shapes, and I love also the scale between the man and the people in the billboard!

superb image...the walker is free to think and experience the moment alone on the deserted street...in stark contrast to the engaged social interaction depicted on the poster...V

Wonderful illustration of the comment of Schopenhauer … love this philosophical touch and completely agree … also with Nietzsche : « Choose the good solitude. The free, roguish, light solitude... » :^)
