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

I restore myself when I'm alone.

Yes, I guess you could say I am a loner, but I feel more lonely in a crowed room with boring people than I feel on my own.

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

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

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

Absolutely lonely people have few personal interactions of any kind.

Only the lonely know the way I feel tonight.

As I get older I'm more and more comfortable being alone.

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