Solitude is independence.

As a body everyone is single, as a soul never.

Love is our true destiny. We do not find the meaning of life by ourselves alone - we find it with another.

It is strange to be known so universally and yet to be so lonely.

Nobody likes being alone that much. I don't go out of my way to make friends, that's all. It just leads to disappointment.

Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much.

Take 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.

I live in that solitude which is painful in youth but delicious in the years of maturity.

It is not for me to judge another man's life. I must judge, I must choose, I must spurn, purely for myself. For myself, alone.

Love consists in this that two solitudes protect and touch and greet each other.

Seek patience and passion in equal amounts. Patience alone will not build the temple. Passion alone will destroy its walls.

Muddy water is best cleared by leaving it alone.

All alone! Whether you like it or not, alone is something you’ll be quite a lot!

Trust and start walking. We are not alone in the dark, our path will unfold as we move.

With every experience, you alone are painting your own canvas, thought by thought, choice by choice.

The worst loneliness is to not be comfortable with yourself.

Human 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.

Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light.

Why do people have to be this lonely? What's the point of it all? Millions of people in this world, all of them yearning, looking to others to satisfy them, yet isolating themselves. Why? Was the earth put here just to nourish human loneliness?

I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples.
