There are no words to express the abyss between isolation and having one ally.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Image
And not out of fear or loneliness, but only to find myself again... for we have come too far my Life, to turn back now.
John J. Geddes
Image
Loneliness in a crowd of people was the worst kind of loneliness, but she couldn't help it.
Lauren Kate
Image
No one would choose a friendless existence on condition of having all the other things in the world.
Aristotle
Image
Courage is the price that Life exacts for granting peace, The soul that knows it not, knows no release, From little things Knows not the livid loneliness of fear Nor mountain heights where bitter joy can hear The sound of wings.
Amelia Earhart
Image
When thinking about companions gone, we feel ourselves doubly alone.
Walter Scott

I think Id like to be able to heal peoples pain, whether it is hunger, loneliness or whatever.
Brandi Chastain

My own study of the networked life has left me thinking about intimacy - about being with people in person, hearing their voices and seeing their faces, trying to know their hearts. And it has left me thinking about solitude - the kind that refreshes and restores. Loneliness is failed solitude.
Sherry Turkle

Any decent society must generate a feeling of community. Community offsets loneliness. It gives people a vitally necessary sense of belonging. Yet today the institutions on which community depends are crumbling in all the techno-societies. The result is a spreading plague of loneliness.
Alvin Toffler

My alone feels so good, I'll only have you if you're sweeter than my solitude.
Warsan Shire

You're only lonely if you don't like the person you are alone with.
Wayne Dyer

Our cities with their swollen populations and cliff dwelling high-rise buildings are breeding places for loneliness. Neighborhoods crumble under the housing development bulldozers and families scatter in pursuit of jobs and professions everywhere. In a world of wheels, old and comfortable groupings of people have disappeared.
Allan Fromme
Image
No, I won't try to escape myself by losing myself in artificial chatter 'Did you have a nice vacation?' 'Oh, yes, and you?' I'll stay here and try to pin that loneliness down.
Sylvia Plath
Image
Of all the diseases I have known, loneliness is the worst.
Mother Teresa
Image
To live, we must daily break the body and shed the blood of Creation. When we do this knowingly, lovingly, skillfully, reverently, it is a sacrament. When we do it ignorantly, greedily, clumsily, destructively, it is a desecration. In such desecration we condemn ourselves to spiritual and moral loneliness, and others to want.
Wendell Berry
Image
Some nights in the midst of this loneliness I swung among the scattered stars at the end of the thin thread of faith alone.
Wendell Berry
Image
For in the end, freedom is a personal and lonely battle and one faces down fears of today so that those of tomorrow might be engaged.
Alice Walker
Image
My greatest affliction... is perhaps the major theme of my writings, the affliction of loneliness that follows me like a shadow, a very ponderous shadow too heavy to drag after me all of my days and nights.
Tennessee Williams
Image
I am lonesome so regular it's like a job I gotta report to every day.
Alice Childress
Image
When I decided to be a singer, my mother warned me I'd be alone a lot. Basically we all are. Loneliness comes with life.
Whitney Houston
Image
I was sad to leave Europe in 1890, after my student days in Germany... But then, once back in New York, I experienced an intense longing for Europe, for its vital tradition of music, theatre, art, craftsmanship... I felt bewildered and lonely. How was I to use myself?
Alfred Stieglitz
Image
When everyone leaves you it's loneliness you feel, when you leave everyone else it's solitude.
Alfred Polgar
Image
I rail against writers who talk about the loneliness of it all — what do they want, a crowd looking over their typewriters? Or those who talk about having to stare at a blank page — do they want someone to write on it?
Wilfrid Sheed
Image
The price for living the life I have -- for any serious, devoted person, is that at times one must live alone, or feel alone. I think loneliness is associated in many people's minds when they think about success.
