"...the disadvantage [of being solitary] is that one is less able to exclude from the book what should merely be said and wasted in a conversation." -- Jalal Toufic, Distracted [2nd ed.] (Post-Apollo, 2003). (N.B.: In case anyone knows the book, or happens to look it up, the half of this sentence I haven't quoted concerns the "advantage" of solitude; that one doesn't waste one's time or intellect on unworthy interlocutors. Needless to say, I do not subscribe to Toufic's implication that just about everyone with whom one might communicate falls into the last-named group.)
