Quotations
Loneliness
Associate yourself with people of good quality, for it is better to be alone than to be in bad company.

Loneliness is not a result of physical isolation; you're only lonely the day you realize that nobody shares your opinions.
-Sabah Carrim
"Humeirah"
People who do a job that claims to be creative have to be alone to recharge their batteries. You can’t live 24 hours a day in the spotlight and remain creative. For people like me, solitude is a victory.
-Karl Lagerfeld
Because, once alone, it is impossible to believe that one could ever have been otherwise. Loneliness is an absolute discovery.
-Marilynne Robinson
