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

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

A man content to go to heaven alone will never go to heaven.

If you are lonely when you're alone, you are in bad company.

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

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

Living alone makes it harder to find someone to blame.

The time you feel lonely is the time you most need to be by yourself.

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.

What a lovely surprise to finally discover how unlonely being alone can be.
