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

Even in the presence of others he was completely alone.

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

Alone we can do so little together we can do so much.

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.

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

Absolutely lonely people have few personal interactions of any kind.

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

Before the throne of the Almighty, man will be judged not by his acts but by his intentions. For God alone reads our hearts.

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