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.

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.

Alone we can do so little together we can do so much.

Before the throne of the Almighty, man will be judged not by his acts but by his intentions. For God alone reads our hearts.

Living alone makes it harder to find someone to blame.

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

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

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

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