As a boy I was a hermit crab, but I soon came out of my shell. Now I am a pincer crab, and soon I will be at my full power as a deadly nuclear lobster.
Thom Yorke
Image
I do hang out with girls, I do relax. But I am a hermit sometimes and get a bit too introverted, too 'Jean-Paul Sartre' and intellectual in my head. And it's like a Kafka novel in there, things get nuts. Then I have to remind myself to get out and I will go and play ice hockey with my friends.
Josh Peck
Image

Bertrand Russell
Image

There are hermit souls that live withdrawn In the place of their self-content There are souls like stars that dwell apart, In a fellowless firmament There are pioneer souls that blaze their paths Where highways never ran,-- But let me live by the side of the road, And be a friend to man.
Sam Walter Foss

HERMIT, n. A person whose vices and follies are not sociable.
Ambrose Bierce
Image
Lesser, greater, middling, it's all the same. Proportions are negotiated, boundaries blurred. I'm not a pious hermit, I haven't done only good in my life. But if I'm to choose between one evil and another, then I prefer not to choose at all.
Andrzej Sapkowski
Image
Every walk is a sort of crusade, preached by some Peter the Hermit in us.
Henry David Thoreau
Image
Mankind have such a deep stake in inward illumination, that there is much to be said by the hermit or monk in defence of his life of thought and prayer.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
No human life, not even the life of the hermit in nature's wilderness, is possible without a world which directly or indirectly testifies to the presence of other human beings.
Hannah
Image
In eighteenth-century England, there was a practice of hiring a picturesque hermit who would inhabit the beautiful ruin on your estate. To me it rhymes with certain kinds of pop-music entertainers and eccentrics - both touted and tolerated.
David Grubbs
Image
You can't find a hermit to teach you herming, because of course that rather spoils the whole thing.
Terry Pratchett
Image
Hollywood's two polar types are the cynically drunken writer aggressively nursing a ten-year-old reputation and the theatrically self-conscious hermit who strides the boulevard in sandals, home-made shorts and a prophetic beard, muttering against the Age of the Machines.
Christopher Isherwood
Image
A hermit who has been shut up in his cell in a college has contracted a sort of mould and rust upon his soul.

If I wasn't in the theater, I would be a hermit.

How could I fail to be a lone wolf, and an uncouth hermit, as I did not share one of its aims nor understand one of its pleasures?
Hermann Hesse
Image
I have manic energy. What can be done about it? I don't know what to say sometimes. I'm professional in public, but I like to stay inside and be a hermit.
Ben Folds
Image
Magnificent autumn! He comes not like a pilgrim, clad in russet weeds not like a hermit, clad in gray but like a warrior with the stain of blood in his brazen mail.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Image
This world is so full of hypocrisy, the only way you can be honest is to be a hermit.
