“Solitude is the school of genius.”Nicolas Chamfort · Maxime și cugetări · 1795 · Maxima 7
Solitude is the essential environment where the brilliant mind delves deep and creates.
Chamfort states that isolation is the fertile ground for exceptional creation. In solitude, the mind deepens, frees itself from social noise, and can reach original ideas. Great scientific discoveries or works of art were often born from long hours of solitary reflection. Newton formulated the law of gravity during the isolation caused by the plague.
