Allow me to give a different viewpoint here. If you really want to live in solitude, go read Lao Tse's Tao Te Ching (or Dao De Jing in Chinese). Taoism is all about solitude and leaving society and whatever not. Something about water being the greatest thing of all as well. And abandoning all learning. Whatever. Go read it if you're serious about what you are talking about. Or you can always become some Buddhist monk or something. Or a Catholic priest? If not, just live a normal life.
