Even in the presence of others he was completely alone.

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

Absolutely lonely people have few personal interactions of any kind.

Every man is born as many men and dies as a single one.

The capacity for not feeling lonely can carry a very real price, that of feeling nothing at all.

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

Living alone makes it harder to find someone to blame.

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.
