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

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

The best part about being alone is that you really don't have to answer to anybody. You do what you want.

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

Only the lonely know the way I feel tonight.

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.

You cannot be lonely if you like the person you're alone with.

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

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

Even in the presence of others he was completely alone.
