Dallas Willard

Solitude is for me a fount of healing which makes my life worth living.
Carl Jung
Image
Solitude desolates me company oppresses me.
Fernando Pessoa
Image
Solitude is unbearable for those who can not bear themselves.
John Lancaster Spalding
Image
Solitude sometimes is best society.
John Milton
Image
Solitude without togetherness deteriorates into loneliness. One needs strong roots in togetherness to be solitary rather than lonely when one is alone.
David Steindl-Rast
Image
Solitude is considered un-American.
Erica Jong
Image
Solitude is not a way of running away from life ... from our feelings. On the contrary. This is the time we sort them out, air them, get over them, and go on without the burden of yesterday.
Joan D. Chittister
Image
Solitude terrifies the soul at twenty.
Moliere
Image
Solitude either develops the mental power, or renders men dull and vicious.
Victor Hugo
Image
Solitude gives birth to the original in us, to beauty unfamiliar and perilous - to poetry. But also, it gives birth to the opposite: to the perverse, the illicit, the absurd.
Thomas Mann
Image
Solitude lies at the lowest depth of the human condition. Man is the only being who feels himself to be alone and the only one who is searching for the Other.
Octavio Paz
Image
Solitude is the playfield of Satan.
Vladimir Nabokov
Image
Solitude vivifies, isolation kills.
Philibert Joseph Roux
Image
Solitude with God repairs the damage done by the fret and noise and clamour of the world.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Solitude was my only consolation - deep, dark, deathlike solitude.
Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
Image
Solitude is one thing and loneliness is another.
May Sarton
Image
Solitude is a place where all is quiet - except the beating of your heart.
Jeanne Marie Laskas
Image
Solitude is very different from a 'time-out' from our busy lives. Solitude is the very ground from which community grows. Whenever we pray alone, study, read, write, or simply spend quiet time away from the places where we interact with each other directly, we are potentially opened for a deeper intimacy with each other.
Henri Nouwen
Image
Solitude is a courageous encounter with our naked, most raw and real self, in the presence of pure love.
Richard Rohr
Image
Solitude is the furnace of transformation. Without solitude we remain victims of our society and continue to be entangled in the illusions of the false self.
Henri Nouwen
Image
Solitude is not measured by the miles of space that intervene between a man and his fellows. The really diligent student in one of the crowded hives of Cambridge college is as solitary as a dervis in the desert.
Henry David Thoreau
Image
Solitude is the place of purification and transformation, the place of the great struggle and the great encounter.
Henri Nouwen
Image
Solitude. It is way underrated in our world of writing. We stay busy. We act busy. We thrive on busy. The truth is there is a lot of beauty that lives in the solitude. Quiet is not the enemy. Quiet is necessary for brains to not self-destruct.
