• I was very inventive. I lived in my own world - my dad said I was a loner. Not lonely, just happy in my own company. It's the same now. I need time alone, which is maybe why I love to write. Having said that, I love the sociability of telly. It's a nice contrast.

• if networks of women are formed, they should be job related and task related rather than female-concerns related. Personal networks for sociability in the context of a work organization would tend to promote the image of women contained in the temperamental model - that companies must compensate for women's deficiencies and bring them together for support because they could not make it on their own. But job-related task forces serve the social-psychological functions while reinforcing a more positive image of women.

• Visitors should conform as much as possible to the habits and customs of the house. They should be moderate in their demands for personal attendance. They should not carry their moods into the drawing-room or to the table, and, whether they are bored or not, should be ready to contribute as much as in their power to an atmosphere of pleasure. If the above involves too much self-sacrifice, then an invitation to visit should by no means be accepted.

• Our age is so gregarious that there is at present a marked prejudice against anyone being alone. It is looked down on, and a need to be alone is almost considered a fault, a weakness, as though if one cannot endure - more - enjoy being with other people every minute one is aloof, unreal, and somehow to be pitied.

• Coffee is a product favouring sociability, friendship, and conversation and it should always be consumed with someone else.

• Es, en efecto, un hecho que, en medio de la sociedad y de la sociabilidad, toda inclinación al mal tiene que someterse a un control tan grande, ponerse tantas máscaras, recostarse tan a menudo sobre el lecho procruso de la virtud, que bien podría hablarse de un martirio del hombre malo. En la soledad todo esto desaparece. Aquel que es malvado es más malvado en la soledad: que es donde está en su mejor momento - y por lo tanto a los ojos de quien ve en todas partes sólo un espectáculo también en su más hermoso.

  Friedrich Nietzsche
