Susan Sontag (1933 - 2004), American writer

Actor Gerard Butler, who probably best known for his starring roles in the Phantom of the Opera and 300 has spoken about his love of solitude:

I know I have within myself… a side of solitude. I think people who know me can see, but people who just meet me can’t because I’m generally very fun and gregarious. But I love to spend a lot of time on my own. I can seriously go into my own head and often love to let myself travel where I don’t know where I’m going.

The Anechoic Chamber at Orfield Laboratories Inc., Minnesota, is officially the Quietest Place on Earth. How would it feel to experience negative 9.4 dB?

Silence is a truly rare thing. All reverberation is removed… all sounds that aren’t coming from your own body disappear. After a few moments in the anechoic chamber, you’ll begin to feel a touch jumpy. Hearing your heart beat, your blood pulse, the sound of your own ear buzzing and your body functioning like you’ve never heard before has a tendency to be a bit unnerving. And in complete silence, you lose all sense of space and surroundings. The absence of reflected sound and reverberation makes “feeling out” the room impossible.
