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

When so many are lonely as seem to be lonely, it would be inexcusably selfish to be lonely alone.

Living alone makes it harder to find someone to blame.

Only the lonely know the way I feel tonight.

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

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

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

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

Absolutely lonely people have few personal interactions of any kind.
