I am lonely, sometimes, but I dare say it's good for me.
-Louisa May Alcott
Booksellers are the most valuable destination for the lonely, given the numbers of books written because authors couldn't find anyone to talk to.
-Alain De Botton
It is always the best policy to tell the truth, unless, of course, you are an exceptionally good liar.
-Jerome K. Jerome
Each of us in our own way can try to spread compassion into people’s hearts. Western civilizations these days place great importance on filling the human ‘brain’ with knowledge, but no one seems to care about filling the human ‘heart’ with compassion.
The only real conflict you will ever have in your life won’t be with others but with yourself.
There is no feeling, except the extremes of fear and grief, that does not find relief in music.
-George Eliot
