Quotations
Loneliness
All great and precious things are lonely.
-John Steinbeck
"East of Eden"
People who do a job that claims to be creative have to be alone to recharge their batteries. You can’t live 24 hours a day in the spotlight and remain creative. For people like me, solitude is a victory.
-Karl Lagerfeld
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"
It is strange to be known so universally and yet to be so lonely.
-Albert Einstein
I have no privacy. But I feel so alone.
-Susan Beth Pfeffer

-Jean Paul Sartre
Sometimes being surrounded by everyone is the loneliest, because you'll realise you have no one to turn to.

Some people are just not meant to be in this world. It's just too much for them.

"The Boy on Cinnamon Street"
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.
