The Hedgehog's Dilemma



"The closer two hedgehogs get, the more likely they are to poke each other with their spikes; but if they remain apart, they will be lonely. So it is with people: being close to someone inevitably creates conflicts and provocations and opens us to a lot of pain; but on the other hand, we're alone when we stand apart."

- Arthur Schopenhauer
