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

Every man must do two things alone he must do his own believing and his own dying.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

Absolutely lonely people have few personal interactions of any kind.
