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

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

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

Look at the sky. We are not alone. The whole universe is friendly to us and conspires only to give the best to those who dream and work.

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

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 misfortunes spring from their hatred of being alone.

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 only real progress lies in learning to be wrong all alone.

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