Aldous Huxley, novelist (1894-1963)

The more powerful and original a mind, the more it will incline towards the religion of solitude. -Aldous Huxley, novelist (1894-1963)

I don’t think this is necessarily true, especially if one’s religion is Christianity rather that the religion of solitude. Powerful and original Christian minds realize that what they have is a gift intended to benefit others, so they forgo solitude, at least to some extent, in favor of service.
