You have never felt the weight of disappointing love or of failing to live up to expectations. The only thing you've ever been is lonely by yourself-you have no idea how desperate it is to be lonely in the midst of people who love you, and whom you would have done anything to make happy.
- Alma Alexander
When I get lonely these days, I think: So BE lonely, Liz. Learn your way around loneliness. Make a map of it. Sit with it, for once in your life. Welcome to the human experience. But never again use another person's body or emotions as a scratching post for your own unfulfilled yearnings.
- Elizabeth Gilbert
Whenever I get lonely these days I think: So be lonely, Liz. Learn your way around loneliness. Make a map of it. Sit with it, for once in your life. Welcome to the human experience. But never again use another person's body or emotions as scratching post for your own unfulfilled yearnings.
- Elizabeth Gilbert
You fall in love, it's intoxicating, an for a little while you feel like you've actually become one with the other person. Merged souls, and so on. You think you'll never be lonely again. Only it doesn't last and soon you realize you can only get so close and you end up brutally disappointed, more alone than ever, because the illusion-the hope you'd held on to all those years-has been shattered.
- Nicole Krauss
I didn't think I was in a morbid mood, but it appears I am. My mind goes round and round trying to figure things out, but I always come back to the same two things: Loneliness and Death. Life ends before we figure anything out, most importantly how not to be lonely. Solitude is fine. But feeling like you have no one to love - abject lonliness - is not alright.
- Jonathan Ames
you'll never be lonely if you learn to be friend your self
- David Archuleta
I can hazard a guess, but I'll never know/ Why you put these walls up, I can't get through/It's as though you want to be lonely and blue.
- Melina Marchetta
The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself.
- Friedrich Nietzsche
There's a tremendous difference between alone and lonely. You could be lonely in a group of people. I like being alone. I like eating by myself. I go home at night and just watch a movie or hang out with my dog. I have to exert myself and really say, oh God, I've got to see my friends 'cause I'm too content being by myself.
- Drew Barrymore
Dear Lord,' he said. 'let me be like Aron. Don't make me mean. I don't want to be. If you will let everybody like me, why, I'll give you anything in the world, and if I haven't got it, why, I'll go for to get it. I don't want to be mean. I don't want to be lonely. For Jesus' sake, Amen.
- John Steinbeck
There was something odd for
him about not feeling lonely. The very fact that he had ceased to be lonely
caused him to fear the possibility of becoming lonely again.
- Haruki Murakami
By marrying her, Tony Takitani brought the lonely period of his life to an end.
When he awoke in the morning, the first thing he did was look for her. When he found her sleeping next to him, he felt relief. When she wasn't there, he
felt anxious and searched the house for her. There was something odd for
him about not feeling lonely. The very fact that he had ceased to be lonely
caused him to fear the possibility of becoming lonely again.
- Haruki Murakami
I'm not afraid to be lonely at the top.
- Barry Bonds
Let your heart look
on white sea spray
and be lonely.
Love is a fool star.
You and a ring of stars
may mention my name
and then forget me.
Love is a fool star.
- Carl Sandburg
He was thirty-one now, not too old, but old enough to be lonely. He hadn't dated since he'd been back here, hadn't met anyone who remotely interested him. It was his own fault, he knew. There was something that kept a distance between him and any woman who started to get close, something he wasn't sure he could change even if he tried. And sometimes in the moments right before sleep came, he wondered if he was destined to be alone forever.
- Nicholas Sparks
Only on the Internet can a person be lonely and popular at the same time.
- Allison Burnett
My needs are simple and few, thought Valentine. Food. Clothing. A comfortable place to sleep. And no idiots.
But of course a world with no idiots would be lonely. If she herself were even allowed there.
- Orson Scott Card
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
To know you will be lonely is not the same as being lonely.
- Peter Carey
When a man is one of a kind, he will be lonely wherever he is.
- Louis L Amour
You cannot be lonely if you like the person you're alone with.
- Wayne Dyer
The trouble is not really in being alone, it's being lonely. One can be lonely in the midst of a crowd, don't you think?
- Christine Feehan
What was the point in such loneliness among people. At least if you were by yourself, you had a good reason to be lonely.
- Janet Fitch
You can be lonely even when you are loved by many people, since you are still not anybody's one and only.
- Anne Frank
When you're lonely, I'll be lonely too
- Lady Gaga
The one thing I'd learned was that having someone with you all the time did not take away the loneliness. You could be surrounded by people and be lonely. Something was missing. I could almost pinpoint it, but right when it was within my grasp I forgot; it just slipped away.
- Abbi Glines
You can be surrounded by people and still be lonely. You can be the most popular person in school, envied by every girl and wanted by every boy, and still feel completely worthless. The world can be laid at your feet and you can still not know what you want from it.
- Hannah Harrington
I would always be lonely, but no more alone.
- Sonya Hartnett
I was becoming convinced that I was going to be lonely for the rest of my life. It wasn't that I wasn't meeting men. I was. It was just that they all drove me crazy.
- Maria Dahvana Headley
It sounds cliched, but superheroes can be lonely, vain, arrogant and proud. Often they overcome these human frailties for the greater good.
- Tom Hiddleston
I suspect you've noticed that making art can be lonely.
- Jenny Holzer
I could still feel the ghost of him hovering in the quiet, dark recess of my heart. It was as if he was just waiting for me to be lonely, or to let my guard down, so that he could surface and fill my mind again with thoughts of him.
- Colleen Houck
If one's different, one's bound to be lonely.
- Aldous Huxley
I'm so excited and lonely all at once. Just once. Not twice, because that'd be a couple, and couple's can't be lonely.
- Jarod Kintz
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.
- Jarod Kintz
I'd rather be lonely than happy with somebody else.
- Gus Kahn
People don't realize it, but no one lives that rock and roll life 24-7. They think it's hundreds of bottles of champagne flowing and private jets and money. But there's a lot of time when you're traveling - time to think, time to be lonely. Sometimes it gets to you.
- Lenny Kravitz
It's just as easy to be lonely in a city as out in the wilderness. Easier, really. It's harder to get to know someone when you meet in a crowded place. People can freely ignore you in the city; they can assume they don't have any responsibility for you. When there are fewer people, (...) they begin assuming some kind of responsibility, simply because you naturally do the same.
- Mercedes Lackey
If you do not learn to hate you will never be lonely enough to love easily nor will you always be brave, although it does not grow any easier. Do not pretend to convenient beliefs, even when they are righteous; you will never be able to defend your city while shouting.
- Audre Lorde
Justin: "...Everyone you love is dead. That must be lonely."
Lenah: "It is. But it's not something that defines me. I don't let it.
- Rebecca Maizel
...I thought it was safer and easier to be one my own. But I don't think I was to be invisible anymore because-because it's lonely, and I don't want to be lonely. I don't want to be alone.
- Han Nolan
It is really hard to be lonely very long in a world of words. Even if you don't have friends somewhere, you still have language, and it will find you and wrap its little syllables around you and suddenly there will be a story to live in.
- Naomi Shihab Nye
For now, I'm just going to hang out with these two smoking hotties and fly privately around the world. It might be lonely up here, but I sure like the view.
- Charlie Sheen
From that moment on, the world was hers for the reading. She would never be lonely again.
- Betty Smith
From that time on, the world was hers for the reading. She would never be lonely again, never miss the lack of intimate friends. Books became her friends and there was one for every mood.
- Betty Smith
Lonely people tend, rather, to be lonely because they decline to bear the psychic costs of being around other humans. They are allergic to people. People affect them too strongly.
- David Foster Wallace
I shan't be lonely now. I was lonely; I was afraid. But the emptiness and the darkness are gone; when I turn back into myself now I'm like a child going at night into a room where there's always a light.
- Edith Wharton
When so many are lonely as seem to be lonely, it would be inexcusably selfish to be lonely alone.
- Tennessee Williams
