• La teoría cuántica revela así la unidad básica del universo. Demuestra que no podemos descomponer el mundo en pequeñas unidades independientes. A medida que penetramos en la materia, la naturaleza no nos muestra ningún "bloque de construcción" aislado, sino que aparece como una complicada red de relaciones entre las diversas partes del todo. Estas relaciones incluyen siempre al observador de forma esencial. El observador humano constituye el último eslabón de la cadena de procesos observacionales, y las propiedades de cualquier objeto atómico sólo pueden entenderse en términos de la interacción del objeto con el observador.

• Beethoven’s music always struck me. Always. He had this fire you know. I remember reading this story of him going deaf and pushing himself into self-isolation and that’s where he became himself. And to me that was, wow. Don’t let anything poison your individuality. Be away, break away and look in not outward.

• Uno de los efectos más significativos de la segregación por edades en nuestra sociedad ha sido el aislamiento de los niños del mundo laboral. Mientras que en el pasado los niños no sólo veían lo que sus padres hacían para ganarse la vida, sino que incluso compartían sustancialmente la tarea, hoy en día muchos niños sólo tienen una vaga noción de la naturaleza del trabajo de sus padres, y han tenido poca o ninguna oportunidad de observar a sus padres, o a cualquier otro adulto, cuando se dedican plenamente a su trabajo.

• Many animals experience pain, anxiety and suffering, physically and psychologically, when they are held in captivity or subjected to starvation, social isolation, physical restraint, or painful situations from which they cannot escape. Even if it is not the same experience of pain, anxiety, or suffering undergone by humans- or even other animals, including members of the same species- an individual's pain, suffering, and anxiety matter.

• Do you know, Watson," said he, "that it is one of the curses of a mind with a turn like mine that I must look at everything with reference to my own special subject.

I look at them, and the only thought which comes to me is a feeling of their isolation and of the impunity with which crime may be committed there.

• Los supervivientes no lloran juntos. Cada uno hace su duelo a solas, incluso cuando se encuentran en el mismo lugar. El duelo es el más solitario de todos los sentimientos. El duelo aísla, y cada ritual, cada gesto, cada abrazo, es un esfuerzo desesperado por romper ese aislamiento. Nada funciona. Las formas se desmoronan y se disuelven. Enfrentarse a la muerte es estar solo.

• She felt a stealing sense of fatigue as she walked; the sparkle had died out of her, and the taste of life was stale on her lips. She hardly knew what she had been seeking, or why the failure to find it had so blotted the light from her sky: she was only aware of a vague sense of failure, of an inner isolation deeper than the loneliness about her.

• Maybe that's what growing up means, in the end - you go far enough in the direction of - somewhere - and you realise that you've neutered the capacity of the term home to mean anything. [...] We don't get an endless number of orbits away from the place where meaning first arises, that treasure-house of first experiences. What we learn, instead, is that our adventures secure us in our isolation. Experience revokes our licence to return to simpler times. Sooner or later, there's no place remotely like home.

• Jesús fue sin consuelo para que tú pudieras tenerlo. Él pospuso la alegría para que tú pudieras compartirla. Él eligió voluntariamente el aislamiento para que tú nunca estuvieras solo en tu dolor y tristeza. Él no tuvo verdadera comunión para que la comunión pudiera ser tuya, en este momento. Sólo esto ya es motivo de gran gratitud.

• I have become convinced that the more wealth a country accumulates, the more isolated and lonely its people become. The loneliest are usually the children and the elderly. Children learn what they live, and isolation in the ‘village’ is one of the most destructive messages we daily write on the tablets of their hearts.

• He seemed a part of the mute melancholy landscape, an incarnation of it's frozen woe, with all that was warm and sentient in him fast bound below the surface; but there was nothing nothing unfriendly in his silence. I simply felt that he lived in a depth of moral isolation too remote for casual access, and I had the sense that his loneliness was not merely the result of his personal plight, tragic as I guessed that to be, but had in it, as Harmon Gow had hinted, the profound accumulated cold of many Starkfield winters.

• La grafomanía (manía de escribir libros) adquiere inevitablemente proporciones epidémicas cuando una sociedad se desarrolla hasta el punto de crear tres condiciones básicas: - (1) un elevado nivel de bienestar general que permite a la gente dedicarse a actividades inútiles (2) un alto grado de atomización social y , como consecuencia, un aislamiento general de los individuos; (3) la ausencia de cambios sociales dramáticos en la vida interna de la nación.
