A certain brother went to Abba Moses in Scete,
and asked him for some good advice.
And the elder said to him:
“Go, sit in your room, and your room will teach you everything.”

Sayings of the Desert Fathers

I discovered that all  of our problems stem from a single cause, – we do not know how to sit at ease in a room alone.

(J’ai découvert que tout le malheur des hommes vient d’une seule chose,

qui est de ne savoir pas demeurer en repos dans une chambre)

Blaise Pascal, French mathematician and Philosopher, 1623 –  1662,  Pensees
