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

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.

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

All of our unhappiness comes from our inability to be alone.

Only the lonely know the way I feel tonight.

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

I restore myself when I'm alone.
