Be alone, that is the secret of invention; be alone, that is when ideas are born.

For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone.

No man is born unto himself alone; who lives unto himself, he lives to none.

I love people. I love my family, my children… but inside myself is a place where I live all alone and that’s where you renew your springs that never dry up.

When you close your doors, and make darkness within, remember never to say that you are alone, for you are not alone.

Until you get comfortable with being alone, you’ll never know if you’re choosing someone out of love or loneliness.

I’m fascinated with myself and love hearing the sound of my own voice. I’d like to hear what I have to say. A lot of people don’t like being alone because they truly don’t like themselves, but I love me.

If a man knows more than others, he becomes lonely.

Be patient with yourself. Self-growth is tender; it’s holy ground. There’s no greater investment.

Solitude is for me a fount of healing which makes my life worth living.

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

It is easy in the world to live after the world’s opinion; it is easy in solitude to live after our own; but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude.

I have arrived. I am home in the here, in the now. I am solid. I am free. In the ultimate I dwell.

Being at ease with not knowing is crucial for answers to come to you.

I hate who steals my solitude without, in exchange, offering me true company.

Be the witness of your thoughts. You are what observes, not what you observe.
