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

Living alone makes it harder to find someone to blame.

Love is our true destiny. We do not find the meaning of life by ourselves alone - we find it with another.

Absolutely lonely people have few personal interactions of any kind.

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

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

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

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

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