I'm a very proud Irish person, and also used to be an expat. We are a great nation, sound in fact!

For me from a pretty young age up until about 21 years old hallucinogenics had a huge place in my life.

I have never found a companion that was so companionable as solitude. We are for the most part more lonely when we go abroad among men than when we stay in our chambers. A man thinking or working is always alone, let him be where he will.

The only real progress lies in learning to be wrong all alone.

Unlike a drop of water which loses its identity when it joins the ocean, man does not lose his being in the society in which he lives. Man's life is independent. He is born not for the development of the society alone, but for the development of his self.
