I like the idea of being alone. I like the idea of often being alone in all aspects of my life. I like to feel lonely. I like to need things.

Being a child at home alone in the summer is a high-risk occupation. If you call your mother at work thirteen times an hour she can hurt you.

I used to think as I looked out on the Hollywood night 'There must be thousands of girls sitting alone like me dreaming of being a movie star.' But I'm not going to worry about them. I'm dreaming the hardest.

A human being is a single being. Unique and unrepeatable.

Being alone is very difficult.

Don't go away. I don't want to be alone. I can't stand being alone.

Solitude is the profoundest fact of the human condition. Man is the only being who knows he is alone.

I'm fascinated with myself and love hearing the sound of my own voice. I'd like to hear what I have to say. A lot of people don't like being alone because they truly don't like themselves but I love me.

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

All men's misfortunes spring from their hatred of being alone.

The best part about being alone is that you really don't have to answer to anybody. You do what you want.

I really enjoy being single again. I spent a lot of time in a relationship and the nearer we came to the end the more difficult it got. You don't see things clearly as long as you're still involved.

There's a tremendous difference between alone and lonely. You could be lonely in a group of people. I like being alone. I like eating by myself. I go home at night and just watch a movie or hang out with my dog. I have to exert myself and really say oh God I've got to see my friends 'cause I'm too content being by myself.

I only go out to get me a fresh appetite for being alone.

What a lovely surprise to finally discover how unlonely being alone can be.

Unlike a drop of water which loses its identity when it joins the ocean man does not lose his being in the society in which he lives. Man's life is independent. He is born not for the development of the society alone but for the development of his self.

All men's miseries derive from not being able to sit in a quiet room alone.

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

Loneliness is my least favorite thing about life. The thing that I'm most worried about is just being alone without anybody to care for or someone who will care for me.

Language... has created the word 'loneliness' to express the pain of being alone. And it has created the word 'solitude' to express the glory of being alone.
