Solitude

It is far better to be alone, than to be in bad company.

George Washington

A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out.

Walter Winchell

If you are lonely when you're alone you are in a bad company.

Jean Paul Sartre

An intellectual man in complete solitude has excellent entertainment in his own thoughts and fancies, while no amount of diversity or social pleasure, theaters, excursions and amusements, can ward off boredom from a dullard.

Arthur Schopenhauer

To live alone is the fate of all great souls.

Arthur Schopenhauer

I have discovered that all human evil comes from this: man's being unable to sit still and quiet in a room alone.

Blaise Pascal

Solitude is fine but you need someone to tell that solitude is fine.

Honor de Balzac

The soul that sees beauty may sometimes walk alone.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

One travels more usefully when alone, because he reflects more.

Thomas Jefferson

Nowhere can man find a quieter or more untroubled retreat than in his own soul.

Marcus Aurelius

The monotony and solitude of a quiet life stimulates the creative mind.

Albert Einstein

The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be.

Anne Frank
