I restore myself when I'm alone.

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

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

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

Associate with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation for it is better to be alone than in bad company.

It is strange to be known so universally and yet to be so lonely.

The only real progress lies in learning to be wrong all alone.

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

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

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.
