Quotations
Loneliness
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.
-Paul Johannes Tillich
"The Eternal Now"
I have no privacy. But I feel so alone.
-Susan Beth Pfeffer
"Life As We Knew It"
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
Loneliness adds beauty to life. It puts a special burn on sunsets and makes night air smell better.

-David Levithan
"Every Day"
If one's different, one's bound to be lonely.
-Aldous Huxley
"Brave New World"
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"
