After being is a situation of solitude for a long time, then penetrating a the frightening boundaries of social interaction, it has become a great struggle to return to a state of solitude.

Mutuality is hard to find, that's why love hurts so much when both sides don't agree to the term. It feels like forever to find another side that will agree.

I never found the companion that was so companionable as solitude. We are for the most part more lonely when we go abroad among men than when we stay in our chambers. A man thinking or working is always alone, let him be where he will.

Sometimes when you're really lonely, you really feel alive and you feel like you know who you are.

What a lovely surprise to discover how un-lonely being alone can be

never say never see what is possible if you never give up
