solitude

If a man should ascend alone into heaven and behold clearly the structure of the universe and the beauty of the stars, there would be no pleasure for him in the awe-inspiring sight, which would have filled him with delight if he had had someone to whom he could describe what he had seen. Nature abhors solitude.

A friendship where you're always trying to be considerate of the other person, always worrying about what they think, always responding to every single text, always seeking their approval and then finally connecting with them, isn't friendship at all.

If I exist, then surely there must be someone else out there like me.

The corner doesn't mind listening to the stupid things I say;Sometimes it's the only one keeping me from running away.And the corner never tells me things I'd rather never know;We became the best of friends long, long, long ago.

Friendship, according to Proust, is the negation of that irremediable solitude to which every human being is condemned.

Nico didn__ respond. He__ never had anyone talk to him this openly before, except maybe for Hazel. He felt like he was watching a flock of birds settle on a field. One loud sound might startle them away.

I want someone to sit beside after the day's pursuit and all its anguish, after its listening, and its waitings, and its suspicions. After quarrelling and reconciliation I need privacy - to be alone with you, to set this hubbub in order. For I am as neat as a cat in my habits.

Friendship needs no words - it is solitude delivered from the anguish of loneliness.

We live, in fact, in a world starved for solitude, silence, and private: and therefore starved for meditation and true friendship.

I hold this to be the highest task of a bond between two people: that each should stand guard over the solitude of the other.

Truth is, I__ generally happiest when it__ just me. It__ okay to be madly in love with yourself.

Until you experience real loneliness, you shall never know what real loneliness is. So many people feel miserable and lonely just because they ignore their inner man, create a gap between themselves and their inner man, and neglect their true self!

We suffer in silence.

Great growth comes from loneliness. You have time to develop, dwell in your own mind and go a bit mad. All great people are a bit mad. That__ good to remember. Don__ escape it._Great growth comes from time spent in foreign lands, watching foreign people with foreign cultures. It makes you forget about your own land and race and town for a while. Great growth also comes from rooting yourself into one place from time to time. Unpack your bags, get a nice bed, a book shelf, some friends. Learn to show up, keep in touch, stick around._Growth comes in all sort of forms and shapes, everywhere at all times, and it__ yours to take and consume. Do what ought to be done. Here and now, to get you somewhere _ anywhere.

If you're comfortable with solitude, being left out is not a problem

Talk to the creator in a state of peace and solitude and ask Him a question concerning the purpose of your living

It was my journey and i had to do it without help. I had to find my own strengths, face my own fears.

When you are a child at home alone, you__e afraid someone might come; when you are old and at home alone, you__e afraid no one will come.
