"The price of being a wolf is loneliness. The price of being a sheep is boredom. Choose carefully what you will be."

Don't wolves usually live in packs?

It's "lone wolf" vs "sheep herd", but you'd think that the loneliness of the lone wolf would be a solved (or non-) problem.

Since you're replying to me, I guess it is appropriate to let you know that there are (a lot) more options than wolves and sheep, and that I am far from lonely.

Okay. I tried to find the author of the quote and the top Google result now points to HN. Is it from the book "Ignore Everybody and 39 Other Keys to Creativity"?

Yes, it is http://gapingvoid.com/books/ by Hugh MacLeod. He draws cartoons at the back of business cards.

I am sorry I didn't quote the name of the author at the first place. I couldn't recall where I had read it. I searched around for a while and couldn't find it so I just posted without the author's name but in quotes to show it was from someone other than me.

Thank you for finding the book title, it helped me find the the site where I originally read this.
