If it's true that our species is alone in the universe, then I'd have to say the universe aimed rather low and settled for very little.

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.

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

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

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

I finally faced the fact that it isn't a crime not having friends. Being alone means you have fewer problems.

All of our unhappiness comes from our inability to be alone.

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

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

All men's miseries derive from not being able to sit in a quiet room alone.
