Solitude is independence.

Thomas MertonIt is strange to be known so universally and yet to be so lonely.
Albert EinsteinNobody likes being alone that much. I don't go out of my way to make friends, that's all. It just leads to disappointment.
Haruki MurakamiAlone we can do so little, together we can do so much.
Helen KellerTake up one idea. Make that one idea your life - think of it dream of it live on that idea. Let the brain muscles nerves every part of your body be full of that idea and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success.
Swami VivekanandaI live in that solitude which is painful in youth but delicious in the years of maturity.
Albert EinsteinLove consists in this that two solitudes protect and touch and greet each other.
Rainer Maria RilkeMuddy water is best cleared by leaving it alone.
Alan WattsAll alone! Whether you like it or not, alone is something you’ll be quite a lot!
Dr. SeussTrust and start walking. We are not alone in the dark, our path will unfold as we move.
Paulo CoelhoWith every experience, you alone are painting your own canvas, thought by thought, choice by choice.
Oprah WinfreyHuman beings can withstand a week without water, two weeks without food, many years of homelessness, but not loneliness. It is the worst of all tortures, the worst of all sufferings.
Paulo CoelhoWalking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light.
Helen KellerI alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples.

Doug CouplandI love to be alone. I never found the companion that was so companionable as solitude.
Henry David ThoreauChildren, dear and loving children, can alone console a woman for the loss of her beauty.
Honore de BalzacLoneliness and the feeling of being unwanted is the most terrible poverty.
Mother TeresaThe biggest disease today is not leprosy or tuberculosis, but rather the feeling of being unwanted.
Mother TeresaI am also the target of such comments people do not understand the way of God. How can they know why particular event takes place at a particular time in a particular manner? He alone can know. But people try to sit in judgment and talk ill when for example one dies of illness at this place how can anyone escape death?
Sai BabaI tend to stay up late not because I'm partying but because it's the only time of the day when I'm alone and don't have to be performing.
Jim CarreyI do not believe that sheer suffering teaches. If suffering alone taught all the world would be wise since everyone suffers. To suffering must be added mourning understanding patience love openness and the willingness to remain vulnerable.
Joseph AddisonLove alone is capable of uniting living beings in such a way as to complete and fulfill them for it alone takes them and joins them by what is deepest in themselves.
Pierre Teilhard de ChardinThe courage to face the trials and to bring... possibilities into the field of interpreted experience for other people to experience that is the hero's deed. We have only to follow the heros path and where we had thought to find abomination we shall find a God. And where we had thought to slay another we shall slay ourselves... Where we had thought to travel outward we will come to the center of our own existence. And where we had thought to be alone we will be with all the world.
Joseph CampbellEveryday the mail brings the thousands of letters and you hand over to Me personally hundreds more. Yet I do not take the help of anyone else even to open the envelopes. For you write to me intimate details of your personal problems believing that I alone will read them and having implicit confidence in Me. You write each one only a single letter that makes for Me a huge bundle a day, and I have to go through all of them. You may ask how I manage it? Well I do not waste a single moment.
Sai BabaNothing we do however virtuous can be accomplished alone, therefore we are saved by love.
Reinhold NiebuhrMy mother was a professional sick person, she took a lot of pain pills. There are many people like that. It's just how they are used to getting attention. I always remember she's the daughter of alcoholics who'd leave her alone at Christmas time.
Jim CarreyBeing a child at home alone in the summer is a high-risk occupation. If you call your mother at work thirteen times an hour she can hurt you.
Erma BombeckDo not worry about anything. Place yourself fully at His disposal He knows. He has written the Play and He knows how it will end and how it will go on. Yours is but to act and retire. The Lord alone is aware of the Play for His is the Plan! You see only the part of the Play on the stage and so it is all very confused. When the entire story is unfolded then you will appreciate His plan not until then, for that you will have to get behind the screen of Maya and contact the Director Himself.
Sai BabaI am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do. I am free no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable I tolerate them, if I find them too obnoxious I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do.
Robert A. HeinleinThere'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 'cause I'm too content being by myself.
Drew BarrymoreNothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not, nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not, unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not, the world is full of educated failures. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.
Calvin Coolidge
