The lonely one offers his hand too quickly to whomever he encounters. Friedrich Nietszche
When you close your doors, and make darkness within, remember never to say that you are alone, for you are not alone; nay, God is within, and your genius is within. And what need have they of light to see what you are doing? Epictetus
Man's loneliness is but his fear of life. Eugene O'neill
So lonely 'twas that God himself scarce seemed there to be. Samuel Taylor Coleridge
People drain me, even the closest of friends, and I find loneliness to be the best state in the union to live in. Margaret Cho
Little do men perceive what solitude is, and how far it extended? For a crowd is not company, and faces are but a gallery of pictures, and talk but a tinkling cymbal, where there is no love. Francis Bacon
Loneliness and the feeling of being unwanted is the most terrible poverty. Mother Teresa
Be good and you will be lonely. Mark Twain
People are lonely because they build walls instead of bridges. Joseph F. Newton
Language has created the word loneliness to express the pain of being alone, and the word solitude to express the glory of being alone. Paul Tillich
People drain me, even the closest of friends, and I find loneliness to be the best state in the union to live in. Margaret Cho
Pray that your loneliness may spur you into finding something to live for, great enough to die for.
A blank wall of social and professional antagonism faces the woman physician that forms a situation of singular and painful loneliness, leaving her without support, respect or professional counsel. Elizabeth Blackwell
A man in a bookstore buys a book on loneliness and every woman in the store hits on him. A woman buys a book on loneliness and the store clears out. Doug Coupland
A woman who is willing to be herself and pursue her own potential runs not so much the risk of loneliness, as the challenge of exposure to more interesting men - and people in general. Lorraine Hansberry
No man is an Island entire of it self; every man is a peace of the Continent, a part of the Maine; if a Clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a Promontories were, as well as if a manor of thy friends or thane own were. Any man's death diminishes me because I am involved in Mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee. John Donne
Loneliness
Is
An island
In
The middle
Of A sea of people

Loneliness is part of being human.
It reminds us that we are not
complete in ourselves.
