Quotations
Loneliness
Sometimes being surrounded by everyone is the loneliest, because you'll realise you have no one to turn to.
-Soraya
We live as we dream--Alone.
-Joseph Conrad
"Heart of Darkness"
The worst part of holding the memories is not the pain. It's the loneliness of it. Memories need to be shared.
-Lois Lowry
"The Giver"
Learning from other people's mistakes is better than making your own. And it is easier to live lonely than to have a broken heart.
-Aria Adams
"Reminiscence"
Remember: the time you feel lonely is the time you most need to be by yourself. Life's cruelest irony.
-Douglas Coupland
"Shampoo Planet"
There is the solitude of suffering, when you go through darkness that is lonely, intense, and terrible. Words become powerless to express your pain; what others hear from your words is so distant and different from what you are actually suffering.
- John O'donohue
"Anam Cara: A Book of Celtic Wisdom"
What loneliness is more lonely than distrust?
-George Eliot
Being alone never felt right. Sometimes it felt good, but it never felt right.
-Charles Bukowski
"Women"
Though we longed not to be lonely, we also feared the pain it would take us to be brought out of our lonely states. And after that fear, could we be guaranteed that we would never be returned to a state of loneliness again? We could not.
-Edward Carey
"Observatory Mansions"
