Solitude

When from our better selves we have too long been parted by the hurrying world, and droop. Sick of its business, of its pleasures tired, how gracious, how benign in solitude.
- Wordsworth, William

Best Quotes about Solitude

1.
The best thinking has been done in solitude.
Edison, Thomas A.

2.
When from our better selves we have too long been parted by the hurrying world, and droop. Sick of its business, of its pleasures tired, how gracious, how benign in solitude.
Wordsworth, William

Two Paradises t'were in one, to live in Paradise alone.
Marvell, Andrew

Well has he lived who has lived well in obscurity.
Ovid

5.
Solitude is un-American.
Jong, Erica

6.
You have already failed if you need a lot of inspectors.

7.
I find it wholesome to be alone the greater part of time. To be in company, even with the best, is soon wearisome and dissipating. I love to be alone, I never found the companionable as solitude.
Thoreau, Henry David

8.
The whole business of your life overwhelms you when you live alone. One's stupefied by it. To get rid of it you try to daub some of it off on to people who come to see you, and they hate that. To be alone trains one for death.
Celine, Louis-Ferdinand

9.
Oh to have a lodge in some vast wilderness. Where rumors of oppression and deceit, of unsuccessful and successful wars may never reach me anymore.
Cowper, William

10.
We never touch but at points.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

11.
The worst vice of the solitary is the worship of his food.
Connolly, Cyril

12.
Ah, mon cher, for anyone who is alone, without God and without a master, the weight of days is dreadful.
Camus, Albert

13.
There is convincing evidence that the search for solitude is not a luxury but a biological need. Just as humans posses a herding instinct that keeps us close to others most of the time, we also have a conflicting drive to seek out solitude. If the distance between ourselves and others becomes too great, we experience isolation and alienation, yet if the proximity to others becomes too close, we feel smothered and trapped.
Kottler, Jeffrey

14.
I have never found a companion so companionable as solitude.
Thoreau, Henry David

15.
Shakespeare, Leonardo Da Vinci, Benjamin Franklin, and Lincoln never saw a movie, heard a radio, or looked at a TV They had loneliness and knew what to do with it. They were not afraid of being lonely because they knew that was when the creative mood in them would mark.
Sa, Carl

16.
If you are afraid of being lonely, don't try to be right.
Renard, Jules

17.
The right to be alone -- the most comprehensive of rights, and the right most valued by civilized man.
Brandeis, Louis D.

18.
Solitude begets whimsies.
Montagu, Lady Mary Wortley

19.
By all means use sometimes to be alone. Salute thyself: see what thy soul doth wear. Dare to look in thy chest; for 'Tis thine own: And tumble up and down what thou findst there. Who cannot rest till he good fellows find, he breaks up house, turns out of doors his mind.
Herbert, George

20.
No matter how close to yours another's steps have grown, in the end there is one dance you'll do alone.
Browne, Jackson

21.
In the tumult of men and events, solitude was my temptation; now it is my friend. What other satisfaction can be sought once you have confronted History?
Gaulle, Charles De

22.
Solitude is impractical and yet society is fatal.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

23.
The more powerful and original a mind, the more it will incline towards the religion of solitude.
Huxley, Aldous

24.
One can acquire everything in solitude except character.
Stendhal, Henri B.

25.
Life without a friend is death without a witness.
Proverb, Spanish

26.
Solitude is dangerous to reason, without being favorable to virtue. Remember that the solitary mortal is certainly luxurious, probably superstitious, and possibly mad.
Johnson, Samuel

27.
A solitude is the audience-chamber of God.
Landor, Walter Savage

28.
In solitude the mind gains strength and learns to lean upon itself.
Sterne, Laurence

29.
We are a most solitary people, and we live, repelled by one another, in the gray, outcast cities of Cain.
Dahlberg, Edward

30.
May God be gracious to each lonely one who walks in silence towards the setting sun.

31.
In solitude, be a multitude to thyself. Tibullus by all means use sometimes to be alone.
Herbert, George

32.
Solitude, though it may be silent as light, is like light, the mightiest of agencies; for solitude is essential to man. All men come into this world alone and leave it alone.
Quincey, Thomas De

33.
An artist is always alone -- if he is an artist. No, what the artist needs is loneliness.
Miller, Henry

34.
One hour of thoughtful solitude may nerve the heart for days of conflict -- girding up its armor to meet the most insidious foe.
Percival, Lord

35.
A writer who writes, I am alone... can be considered rather comical. It is comical for a man to recognize his solitude by addressing a reader and by using methods that prevent the individual from being alone. The word alone is just as general as the word bread. To pronounce it is to summon to oneself the presence of everything the word excludes.
Blanchot, Maurice

36.
I live in that solitude which is painful in youth, but delicious in the years of maturity.
Einstein, Albert

37.
To have a quiet mind is to possess one's mind wholly; to have a calm spirit is to possess one's self.
Mabie, Hamilton

38.
True solitude is a din of birdsong, seething leaves, whirling colors, or a clamor of tracks in the snow.
Hoagland, Edward

39.
In solitude, where we are least alone.
Byron, Lord

40.
The higher we rise, the more isolated we become; all elevations are cold.
Boufflers

41.
The mark of solitude is silence, as speech is the mark of community. Silence and speech have the same inner correspondence and difference as do solitude and community. One does not exist without the other. Right speech comes out of silence, and right silence comes out of speech.
Bonhoeffer, Dietrich

42.
This great misfortune -- to be incapable of solitude.
Bruyere, Jean De La

43.
Alone, even doing nothing, you do not waste your time. You do, almost always, in company. No encounter with yourself can be altogether sterile: Something necessarily emerges, even if only the hope of some day meeting yourself again.
Cioran, E. M.

44.
Solitude can be used well by very few people. They who do must have a knowledge of the world to see the foolishness of it, and enough virtue to despise all the vanity.
Cowley, Abraham

45.
Violent passions are formed in solitude. In the busy world no object has time to make a deep impression.
Home, Henry

46.
The good and the wise lead quiet lives.
Euripides

47.
A man by himself is in bad company.
Hoffer, Eric

48.
What call thou solitude? Is not the earth with various living creatures, and the air replenished, and all these at thy command to come and play before thee?
Milton, John

49.
Solitude gives birth to the original in us, to beauty unfamiliar and perilous- to poetry. But also, it gives birth to the opposite: to the perverse, the illicit, the absurd.
Mann, Thomas

50.
With some people solitariness is an escape not from others but from themselves. For they see in the eyes of others only a reflection of themselves.
Hoffer, Eric
