Quotations
Loneliness
Nobody can discover the world for somebody else. Only when we discover it for ourselves does it become common ground and a common bond and we cease to be alone.
-Wendell Berry
"A Place on Earth"
I had gotten so used to being alone, but never entirely used to it. Never used to it enough to stop wanting the alternative.
-David Levithan
"Every You, Every Me"
The loneliness you feel with another person, the wrong person, is the loneliest of all.
-Deb Caletti
"The Fortunes of Indigo Skye"
When we are most alone is when we embrace another's loneliness.
-Mitch Albom
"The Time Keeper"
Perhaps only people who are capable of real togetherness have that look of being alone in the universe. The others have a certain stickiness, they stick to the mass.
-D. H. Lawrence
"Lady Chatterley's Lover"
Sometimes being surrounded by everyone is the loneliest, because you'll realise you have no one to turn to.
-Soraya
We live as we dream--Alone.
-Joseph Conrad
"Heart of Darkness"
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
As far as I knew white women were never lonely, except in books. White men adored them, Black men desired them and Black women worked for them.
-Maya Angelou
