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

Yes, I guess you could say I am a loner, but I feel more lonely in a crowed room with boring people than I feel on my own.

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

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

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