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

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

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

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

I don't want to be alone, I want to be left alone.

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

We are all sentenced to solitary confinement inside our own skins, for life.

Look at the sky. We are not alone. The whole universe is friendly to us and conspires only to give the best to those who dream and work.

Unless we love and are loved, each of us is alone, each of us is deeply lonely.

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