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.

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

I don't want to be alone, I want to be left alone.

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

Absolutely lonely people have few personal interactions of any kind.

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

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

If it's true that our species is alone in the universe, then I'd have to say the universe aimed rather low and settled for very little.

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