All men's misfortunes spring from their hatred of being alone.

Living alone makes it harder to find someone to blame.

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

Absolutely lonely people have few personal interactions of any kind.

I never said, 'I want to be alone.' I only said, 'I want to be left alone.' There is all the difference.

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

Every man must do two things alone he must do his own believing and his own dying.

I finally faced the fact that it isn't a crime not having friends. Being alone means you have fewer problems.

A man content to go to heaven alone will never go to heaven.

Always give a word or sign of salute when meeting or passing a friend, or even a stranger, if in a lonely place.
