Only the lonely know the way I feel tonight.

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

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

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

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

Even in the presence of others he was completely alone.

I restore myself when I'm alone.

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

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

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