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

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

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

All men's misfortunes spring from their hatred of being alone.

Even in the presence of others he was completely alone.

Living alone makes it harder to find someone to blame.

Always give a word or sign of salute when meeting or passing a friend, or even a stranger, if in a lonely place.

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.

The best part about being alone is that you really don't have to answer to anybody. You do what you want.
