Refuge Quotes

Solitude is a chosen separation for refining your soul. Isolation is what you crave when you neglect the first.

My soul is utterly frantic for that single place of perfect refuge from which I can clearly see the winds rip and hear the tempest tear, yet despite the ferocity of the tumult I rest in such a sublime peace it is as if neither existed at all. And if I have not yet found such a place, it is because I have not yet found God.

Craig D. Lounsbrough

To acquire the habit of reading is to construct for yourself a refuge from almost all the miseries of life.

W Somerset Maugham
