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

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

In Genesis, it says that it is not good for a man to be alone but sometimes it is a great relief.

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.

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

Only the lonely know the way I feel tonight.
