Man is never alone. Acknowledged or unacknowledged, that which dreams through him is always there to support him from within.

True solitude is a din of birdsong, seething leaves, whirling colors, or a clamor of tracks in the snow.

The bitter pinecone may be eaten, The mist on high give nourishment. The whole world takes to go-and-getting; My way alone is difficult.

But understand that I want to remain alone, truly alone, so I can precede my face, my voice, my hell without anyone telling me which is the best path, without anyone laughing at the giant's wings and the dwarf's legs that impede my gait.

I never found the companion that was so companionable as solitude.

Fond as we are of our loved ones, there comes at times during their absence an unexplained peace.

The great virtue of being alone is that your mind can go its own way.

I have a house where I go When there's too many people, I have a house where I go Where no one can be; I have a house where I go, Where nobody says anything-so There is no one but me.

By all means use sometimes to be alone. Salute thyself; see what thy soul doth wear.

In solitude all great thoughts are born.

Here I am, a wild beast cut off from his companions.

No man should go through life without once experiencing healthy, even bored solitude in the wilderness, finding himself depending solely on himself and thereby learning his true and hidden strength.

Only in solitude do we find ourselves; and in finding ourselves, we find in ourselves all our brothers in solitude.

There are places and moments in which one is so completely alone that one sees the world entire.

Solitude is the profoundest fact of the human condition. Man is the only being who knows he is alone.

Solitude is as needful to the imagination as society is wholesome for the character.

Better be alone than in bad company.

Maybe each human being lives in a unique world, a private world, a world different from those inhabited and experienced by all other humans.

I love to be alone. I never found the companion that was so companionable as solitude.

We're all in this alone.
