#Lonely

"If you learn to really sit with loneliness and embrace it for the gift that it is…an opportunity to get to know YOU, to learn how strong you really are, to depend on no one but YOU for your happiness…you will realize that a little loneliness goes a LONG way in creating a richer, deeper, more vibrant and colorful YOU."

"Sometimes the sound of silence is the most deafening sound of all."

"I love letting her know how much she means to me. A love in secret is but a shadow that’s cold and lonely."

"...and you drink a little too much and try a little too hard. And you go home to a cold bed and think, 'That was fine'. And your life is a long line of fine."

"I meet people to know I’m not alone. I network like an astronaut on the moon."

"I’m learning to play the saxophone so when you feel lonely I can come over and stand in the shadows and play it for you. Two is one too lonely for me."

"Loneliness is the human condition. Cultivate it. The way it tunnels into you allows your soul room to grow. Never expect to outgrow loneliness. Never hope to find people who will understand you, someone to fill that space. If you expect to find people who will understand you, you will grow murderous with disappointment."

"Love is hard to find, hard to keep, and hard to forget."

"We're going to meet a lot of lonely people in the next week and the next month and the next year. And when they ask us what we're doing, you can say, We're remembering. That's where we'll win out in the long run. And someday we'll remember so much that we'll build the biggest goddamn steamshovel in history and dig the biggest grave of all time and shove war in it and cover it up."

"A life without a lonely place, that is, without a quiet center, becomes destructive."

"Fame always brings loneliness. Success is as ice cold and lonely as the North Pole."

"When you are lonely for a while don't get restless, if you had born alone, you are going to die alone then for sometime you can certainly live alone."

"Success is nothing if you don't have the right people to share it with; you're just gonna end up lonely."

"Don’t try to hog loneliness and keep it all to yourself. Share it with a special someone."

"Absence makes the heart grow fonder, but it sure makes the rest of you lonely."

"If I knew everything, life would be lonely, as everyone else would want to explore the world, and I’d be content with a cat on my lap sitting in the dark."

"Don't think you can frighten me by telling me that I am alone. France is alone. God is alone. And the loneliness of God is His strength."

"It is beautiful, it is endless, it is full and yet seems empty. It hurts us."

"So, this is how it's become? This is how I've become? A walking contradiction? I'm surrounded by people and feel alone. I claim to crave a bit of normalcy but now that I have some, it's like I don't know what to do with it, I don't know how to be a normal person anymore."

"Many people seek fellowship because they are afraid to be alone...let him who cannot be alone beware of community. He will do harm to himself and to the community. Alone you stood before God when he called you; alone you had to answer that call; alone you had to struggle and pray; and alone you will die and give an account to God. You cannot escape yourself, for God has singled you out."
