The time you feel lonely is the time you most need to be by yourself.

All men's miseries derive from not being able to sit in a quiet room alone.

It's often just enough to be with someone. I don't need to touch them. Not even talk. A feeling passes between you both. You're not alone.

Before the throne of the Almighty, man will be judged not by his acts but by his intentions. For God alone reads our hearts.

I paint self-portraits because I am so often alone, because I am the person I know best.

You cannot be lonely if you like the person you're alone with.

Absolutely lonely people have few personal interactions of any kind.

As I get older I'm more and more comfortable being alone.

There are places and moments in which one is so completely alone that one sees the world entire.

I love to be alone. I never found the companion that was so companionable as solitude.
