"What is necessary, after all, is only this: solitude, vast inner solitude. To walk inside yourself and meet no one for hours--that is what you must be able to attain. To be solitary as you were when you were a child, when the grownups walked around involved with matters that seemed large and important because they looked so busy and because you didn't understand a thing about what they were doing. And when you realize that their activities are shabby, that their vocations are petrified and no longer connected with life, why not then continue to look upon it all as a child would, as if you were looking at something unfamiliar, out of the depths of your own solitude.."

(Justin made up the flyer, but the book is real. If you are one of Justin's close personal friends, then good for you. But you probably already know a lot of this stuff. If you are stalking Justin and/or interested in developing a deeply intimate relationship with Justin, you would do well to read this book. On second thought if the later applies, skip the book. Justin is growing weary of his vast inner solitude.)
