Am I alone in my egotism when I say that never does the pale light of dawn filter through the blinds of 52 Tavistock Square but I open my eyes and exclaim, Good God! Here I am again! not always with pleasure, often with pain sometimes in a spasm.
Virginia Woolf
Image
One ought to sink to the bottom of the sea, probably, and live alone with one's words.
Virginia Woolf
Image
I want some one to sit beside after the day's pursuit and all its anguish, after its listening, its waitings, and its suspicions. After quarreling and reconciliation I need privacy--to be alone with you, to set this hubbub in order. For I am as neat as a cat in my habits.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Make as many friends as you can, but don't build your life on them alone. It's an unstable foundation.
Sean Covey
Image
Women alone stir my imagination.
Virginia Woolf
Image
London perpetually attracts, stimulates, gives me a play and a story and a poem, without any trouble, save that of moving my legs through the streets... To walk alone through London is the greatest rest.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Fear is that thing that keeps you up there on that other plateau. Fear is that thing that just keeps you closed down, and quite frankly, alone.
Andrew Shue
Image
A woman without a man -- a condition of 'manlessness' -- is defined as alone. But a single mother is less alone than the average housewife.
Barbara Kingsolver
Image
So I have to create the whole thing afresh for myself each time. Probably all writers now are in the same boat. It is the penalty we pay for breaking with tradition, and the solitude makes the writing more exciting though the being read less so. One ought to sink to the bottom of the sea, probably, and live alone with ones words.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Alone, condemned, deserted, as those who are about to die are alone, there was a luxury in it, an isolation full of sublimity a freedom which the attached can never know
Virginia Woolf

The first rule of travel is that you should always go with someone you love, which is why I travel alone.
Andrew O'Hagan
Image
Traveling alone offers the chance to test the limits of what you think you know about yourself.

Family: the most important thing of all. My siblings may drive me crazy at times but they are my blood. They’re all I’ve known. My family is me. They are my life. Without them I walk the planet alone. Forbidden, Tabitha Suzuma

There is a big difference between being lonely and being alone. I am alone when I write, but I am rarely lonely.
Andrew McAleer
Image
My big toe alone is the size of Yorkshire.
Andrew Marr
Image
Psychoanalysis showed me that I might be neurotic because I was a girl but, as Chekhov might have put it, I alone had to squeeze the slave out of myself, drop by drop.
Vivian Gornick
Image
When the whole world is writing letters, it's easy to lap into the quiet within, tell the story of an hour, keep alive the narrating inner life. To be alone in the presence of one's thought is not a value, only a common practice.
Vivian Gornick
Image
Awareness of the self is more acutely at the heart of things than it has ever been before. On the foundation of self-awareness alone rest all our hopes for a new politics, a new society, a revitalized life. If we do not genuinely know ourselves, the void will now, at last, surely rise up to meet us.
Vivian Gornick
Image
Of all animals, the cat alone attains to the comtemplative life. He regards the wheel of existence from without, like the Buddha.
Andrew Lang
Image
I find virtue to be found amongst the farmers of the country alone, not about courts, where courtiers dwell.
Andrew Jackson
Image
The age in which we live, this non-stop distraction, is making it more impossible for the young generation to ever have the curiosity or discipline... because you need to be alone to find out anything.
Vivienne Westwood
Image
The development of beauty in chess never depends on you alone. No matter how much imagination and creativity you invest, you still do not create beauty. Your opponent must react at the same highest level.
Vladimir Kramnik
Image
If it smells like fish its a dish. If it smells like cologne leave it alone.
Andrew Dice Clay
Image
The Bolsheviks could not have retained power for two and a half months, let alone two and a half years, without the most rigorous and truly iron discipline in our Party.
