Alone Quotes

If we’re not able to be alone, we’re going to be more lonely. And if we don’t teach our children to be alone, they’re only going to know how to be lonely Picture Quote #1

These days, when people are alone, or feel a moment of boredom, they tend to reach for a device. In a movie theater, at a stop sign, at the checkout line at a supermarket and, yes, at a memorial service, reaching for a device becomes so natural that we start to forget that there is a reason, a good reason, to sit still with our thoughts: It does honor to what we are thinking about. It does honor to ourselves Picture Quote #1

It is not a waste to write beautiful prose or poetry for one person’s eyes alone! Picture Quote #1

The horse responds to comfort, they respond to peace better than about anything else you could do. All he wants you to do is just leave him alone. So if the horse responds to you and you give him a little peace and comfort that means more to him than anything Picture Quote #1

The conversation was mesmerizing, not for its content but for the cadences of the talk, the rhythm we fell into when we were alone, now as before. Every conversation between friends or lovers creates its own easy or awkward rhythms, hidden talk that runs like a subterranean river under even the most banal exchange Picture Quote #1

Is it easier for a man to live his life again as a fish, than to accept the wonder of being human? So alone, so frightened, so wanting for what we are afraid to give tongue to Picture Quote #1

In my defence I can only say that her past, too, like mine, like everyone’s in fact, was a locked box. Occasionally we allow people a peep, but generally only at the top level. The darker streams of our memories we negotiate alone Picture Quote #1

I’m not fascinated by people who smile all the time. What I find interesting is the way people look when they are lost in thought, when their face becomes angry or serious, when they bite their lip, the way they glance, the way they look down when they walk, when they are alone and smoking a cigarette, when they smirk, the way they half smile, the way they try and hold back tears, the way when their face says they want to say something but can’t, the way they look at someone they want or love… I love the way people look when they do these things. It’s… beautiful Picture Quote #1

Books alone are liberal and free; they give to all who ask; they emancipate all who serve them faithfully Picture Quote #1

Sanctified by their initiatory experiences and furnished with their spirit guardians, the shaman alone among human beings is able to consciously travel into the spiritual worlds as cosmic explorers Picture Quote #1

Running alone is the toughest. You get to the point where you have to keep pushing yourself Picture Quote #1

What is it that we call loneliness. It can’t simply be the absence of others, you can be alone and not lonely, and you can be among people and yet be lonely. So what is it? Picture Quote #1

All other species on this planet are gene machines only. They don’t imitate at all well; we alone are gene machines and meme machines as well Picture Quote #1

I knew that I was choosing the road less traveled but I’m not walking it alone Picture Quote #1

Money and ownership alone aren’t enough. Set high goals, encourage competition, and then keep score Picture Quote #1

Every man needs to find a peak, a mountain top or a remote island of his own choosing that he reaches under his own power alone in his own good time Picture Quote #1

Ambition and thirst for power have a part but greed and greed alone is the reason for a man wanting to swell his ward Picture Quote #1

Your body is your subconscious mind and you can’t heal it by talk alone Picture Quote #1

I had already found that it was not good to be alone, and so I made companionship with what there was around me, sometimes with the universe and sometimes with my own insignificant self; but my books were always my friends, let fail all else Picture Quote #1

From early on I valued the gift of memory above all others. I understood that as we grow older we carry a whole nation around inside of us, places and ways that have disappeared, believing that they are ours, that we alone hold the torch for our past, that we are as impenetrable as stone Picture Quote #1

We are men without ambition, and all we want is to be left alone, in peace so that we can try and be happy. So few people will understand this simplicity Picture Quote #1

Seems like the more you grow, the more time you spend alone, before you know it you end up perfectly on your own Picture Quote #1

Clichés remind and reassure us that we’re not alone, that others have trod this ground long ago Picture Quote #1

To be an honest writer, you have to be away from home, and totally alone in life Picture Quote #1

How we feel about our own self, how well or little we know our own self, whether we feel alive inside, largely determine the quality of the time we spend alone, as well as the quality of the relationships we have with other people Picture Quote #1

No face which we can give to a matter will stead us so well at last as the truth. This alone wears well Picture Quote #1

I don’t mind being alone either. The only problem is that if you’re always alone, you get lonely Picture Quote #1

By simple mathematics giving is key to the world you seek to live in. If I take I alone gain. If I give or share then two at least are enriched Picture Quote #1

Indeed, the great paradox of the writer’s life is how much time he spends alone trying to connect with other people Picture Quote #1

We are the puzzle pieces who seldom fit with other puzzle pieces. We inhabit singledom as our natural resting state... Secretly, we are romantics, romantics of the highest order. We want a miracle. Out of millions we have to find the one who will understand. For the quirkyalone, there is no patience for dating just for the sake of not being alone. On a fine but by no means transcendent date, we dream of going home to watch television. We would prfer to be alone with our own thoughts than with a less than perfect fit... but when the quirkyalone collides with another, ooh la la. The earth quakes Picture Quote #1
