Quotations
Loneliness
It would be too easy to say that I feel invisible. Instead, I feel painfully visible, and entirely ignored.
-David Levithan
"Every Day"
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
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"
Companionship is a foreign concept to some people. They fear it as much as the majority of people fear loneliness.
-Criss Jami
A lonely day is God's way of saying that he wants to spend some quality time with you.
-Criss Jami
Being alone never felt right. Sometimes it felt good, but it never felt right.
-Charles Bukowski
"Women"
To be alone is to be different, to be different is to be alone.
-Suzanne Gordon
The sun is such a lonely star. Whenever he comes out to see his friends, they all disappear.
