You cannot be lonely if you like the person you're alone with.

The capacity for not feeling lonely can carry a very real price, that of feeling nothing at all.

I never said, 'I want to be alone.' I only said, 'I want to be left alone.' There is all the difference.

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

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

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

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.

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

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