You cannot be lonely if you like the person you're alone with.
It's better to be unhappy alone than unhappy with someone - so far.
Language... has created the word 'loneliness' to express the pain of being alone. And it has created the word 'solitude' to express the glory of being alone.
Remember: the time you feel lonely is the time you most need to be by yourself. Life's cruelest irony.
We're born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment that we're not alone.
I don't want to be alone, I want to be left alone.
Pray that your loneliness may spur you into finding something to live for, great enough to die for.
We are born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Everything in-between is a gift.
Loneliness adds beauty to life. It puts a special burn on sunsets and makes night air smell better.
There's a tremendous difference between alone and lonely. You could be lonely in a group of people. I like being alone. I like eating by myself. I go home at night and just watch a movie or hang out with my dog. I have to exert myself and really say, oh God, I've got to see my friends cos I'm too content being by myself.
If you are lonely when you're alone, you are in bad company.
The person who tries to live alone will not succeed as a human being. His heart withers if it does not answer another heart. His mind shrinks away if he hears only the echoes of his own thoughts and finds no other inspiration.
What a lovely surprise to finally discover how unlonely being alone can be.
Who knows what true loneliness is - not the conventional word but the naked terror? To the lonely themselves it wears a mask. The most miserable outcast hugs some memory or some illusion.
A person's heart withers if it does not answer another heart.
The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside
I used to think the worst thing in life was to end up all alone. It's not. The worst thing in life is to end up with people who make you feel all alone.
When we truly realize that we are all alone is when we need others the most.
The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be.
If you are afraid of being lonely, don't try to be right.
